Buurttuin Oosterpoort, Community garden in Oosterpoort district, Netherlands
The garden encompasses 2000 square meters of green space within a courtyard behind Mauritsstraat 5, featuring native plant species and butterfly-friendly zones.
The location previously housed the Mauritsschool, a Christian primary school with a kindergarten during the 1960s, before becoming the Municipal Housing Bureau.
The garden, established in 1999 by Peter Bulk and landscape architect Ger Roosjen, represents local community involvement in urban green space development.
Visitors can access the garden during daylight hours to explore the flower meadows, play areas, and willow wigwam structures throughout the grounds.
The garden incorporates ruins from previous structures, now covered with ivy and hollyhocks, creating a natural blend between architectural history and plant life.
