welcome ladies and gentlemen we are going something now
do what I had to do for the stage
came up and that is just as deep
you actually breathe with you
I did not mind talking to you
funny but I ‘m not going to ask for it now
to go massively yawn it goes anyway
fail to do that we
sit down
put your hands on your stomach and then it is
seriously
all do and we will do inhaling
our nose to our stomach and we breathe
then through our mouth here
and we do that a few times
delicious anyway
for me and for you of course you know what
the main component is the
air that you just have in her and
of course you know that oxygen
so 80% of the air we breathe
consists of nitrogen
then so small and 20% out of oxygen and then
do you still have argon
you have a pinch of co2 and some other things
gases but I am not going to join
to bore
all of these gases are oxygen for us
of life without oxygen
live without oxygen
very simple but that oxygen does not come
fall from the sky
actually who knows where that oxygen is
comes from planting plants
still some
organisms on earth capable of oxygen
to emit and make that gas
together with a bit of light a bit
water make them as sugar itself
is that already amazing and they bump
it means oxygen from that means
actually no life without plants
life without plants
breathing is also relaxing
there are plenty of people who think they are
only be able to relax when they leave
when we go away from a holiday
house away from a work
far away from all obligations
our daily life to us
and they prefer to be far away with it
plane than the other side of the
world piece of paradise on earth troop
beaches coco palms the world of peter
stuyvesant who is not well and there too
a lot of people who do fly
I’ll see what I do for you in the
offer it was it comes to
attractive holiday destinations
spes nice anyway
and the nice thing is this is my paradise
to me it’s not from the municipality
actually that this is 10 minutes cycling
distance from annakerk is very much
you do not have to worry about it anyway
to be able to relax and to relax
enjoy the beautiful surrounding walls
great when I was in nature guide
training in the thijssepark because there
would enjoy
photos of which it now has russel hair
a world has opened up for me too
and not the world of Peter Stuyvesant
but the world of chris bourges and chose
land here any of you who ever names
has heard to see the know you say
jaqen which now of course but when
they really opened a world for me
chris morse and chose country 4
to take you to that world
from bourges and then feather I become one
little piece back in history
from amstelveen
take about 100 years ago
amstelveen
still real and villages aim now are there
amsterdammers say to controversial village
is but that is obviously not a long time
more like you from here is to say
but 200 meters east west north south
would you walk on the edge of
village ended up then you would look forward to
over endless we long and for growth
the neighbor’s big neighbor amsterdam one
little to accomodate
amstelveen is also going to build and with it
houses file grows the realization that
people not just a roof above them
need head but also an environment
to relax and where better than in
the green
the brothers park is the first park
is being constructed
that is being built to meet that need
to be able to meet
The story goes from Chris brothers
you and I always have a very nice story
to tell that if he was then that little one
boy, by the way, was a farmer
by an architect and who then takes one
it seemed to him with the boy gardener in the
arm
the zealand and that demand to have
to take care of the planting
this boy gardener
especially trees brother is of him
story which I liked so much
tell him that he is an 11-year-old boy
once said to his father
house painter was of course wanted that
the herbs chris that again like me
not working with plants that he
would run away from home but I think
that really is a very nice world I see
just stand there
11-year-old boy who is allowed to plant
to work
then I walk away well lucky in whole
wise father and brother she is
namely the one who sees the beauty
of the plants that are here in the Netherlands
throw an example of this are the
wood anemones
and brothers and wants very much
amstelveen
consequences place is I think then one
create environment
where those plants come into their own
and that’s what he does, but that’s what he does
to be able to do
he will take a breeder from amstelveen
the arm with name chose lamp four and she
start working for the war
Well it is true that Dutch small as
it knows a lot of different things
landscapes it really is a light of it
nothing but we are all on the beach
we have rented a boat
on the Vinkeveense plassen
we are going to walk on the Veluwe and that is
something they do not realize us that way
that diversity is real
special
but I have taken a number of photos
of landscapes
more grooves in Limburg I believe this is
for veluwe kennemerduinen
who does not know them
this is something else
but that is also what they do what they do
and assume I still wanted to talk about it
that landscape is all those landscapes
in all those landscapes good plants that
only those landscapes so you hear
can, so to speak
crow moorland of the Veluwe you can not
in the dunes they simply lost their way
really putting that he does not
it does not go with that at that time
are landscapes now underneath
under pressure because at that time too
well built that in have it for the
second world war and there is in that
time we are also built a road
and then also landscapes will start
just on the shovel and averse the country 4
realize that very much like that
happens when those landscapes disappear
and that plant also disappears into a plan
to be you have a group of plants that
grow everywhere like nettles
you know that, but there are some
plants that can really be real
bound to the bottom and to the fight
other congratulations you can not
how to get somewhere else
they have shit for that and that is
what and is one to think of then if like that
the case then we just pick up the
plants in amstelveen then go and
they have a kind of yes and rescue
mission they develop and that is also something
chance landlord do it chrisboers continues
in our peat fluff light goes with it
turkish boat you go into the country and
that this anger of course one
exceptionally suitable car because it is
I developed eggs about
a plowed field to transport and you
could transport an entire pig here
if you back off too took all
asses apparently common sense
funny picture so they get it
those plants to amstelveen and that
actually means that in here
amstelveen a quarter of all
Dutch plants are in the parks
let me penetrate that for a moment
that they are 500 kinds of plants that is best
up to 400 you will not be in other municipalities
find where is about growing plants
of course they do you twice
plants as long as they used to
must be living in the acidic peat soil
amstelveen in amstelveen is a big one
what is mainly peaty soil or as
I do not give you a god then it is
excavated and is not good at all
those plants get used to it over the years
cake is the plants and plants that
plants and so again finds
quarter of all plants her way to the
you can use amstelveen hememparken
actually see everywhere but especially in
a park
also in other parts of the municipality in that
is worth a while now and again
looking around you
yes enough background information I think
that it is just time that we go to
thijssepark are going to say so how
you as a parent that we actually fall
with our nose in the butter
this is my after not my favorite
plan but this is spring herb
that the few among you are those
services what spring season was I
find the things of plants that are kind
of tranquil beauty has about
very small light yellow flowers
it is a plant that is very slow
The Netherlands has conquered it is in the 18th
century taken from the Middle East
first as a garden plant they flourished
next to the snowdrops
you probably know that is out of that
gardens escaped
because that is what plants do and is now
a fairly rare plant in the take
nature well we are not in the park yet
go over the bridge
talk with me very carefully
that you have a little bit thicker than your nose
close nose and work late then urges
there is a very subtle fragrance to the euro
this part of the park was littered with
cave root
and you feed a whole flower I do not have
the easiest selection
I think this is poppy-like
would not say it but this is family
of the poppy
that you know but sell and that of
the sleeping sphere
it is made opium
afghanistan
I hope you do not know there are
very many types of where work and there
actually only 2 that are the year
cell among other things we do not go there
long on standing still but then you still
Showing one thing is that if you do it
looked completely behind the flower
a hole that is when we get the trace of it
my flower flowers and that is exactly the
place where the flower has its nectar
constipated
it is obviously meant to be there
a small and long very small present
he comes with his long tongue
immediately further out, but there are
not so much and he does a lot of big ones
insects that also love deck and
that is exactly what they do
the hole buttons we are in the trail of the
flower and the nectar from it
Of course it is a pity for the flower
who wants to be pollinated but keeps
nothing to do you live like that
also a one by knolsteenbreek
I already mentioned myself
time stone break but it is not
you do not have as much as he can
I no city seems so he says comes
from the baby boomers in Limburg
keep digging a little bit of salt now
to share a lot of knifes and then lay it down
continue to the wheel and this
show your something
I think that was also included
this is not going to be a cross between one
small twig of a forest world that we
you know what you know in the garden
all of them anyway
and this is the tub , this is the tree
say it is the smallest just in
Europe usually lies like this but this is the
the tribe say in this are the
branches
you see that the young you see completely
not natural but well I can you
say he’s already blossoming a bit
[Music]
it was also very early this
years but I would say go over
if the next two weeks a little
nice weather is go then I became thijssepark
and then you can see them flourish
says a beautiful wheel grows a lot
the dunes as you can if you can
linking to the dune walk and then
is it all very nice good in the
mountains
do you have an I like him too
no more of not to be with
holiday well we are at the
red-hot gale
here it is not so obvious but if you do it
park runs then the whole park is covered
with a red glow and then sit on itself
not very striking bush very much
he does not get more flowers than this
will eventually get leaves is real
a very nice smell so what you do
may of course not at all
you ever come into a time fir
of course all the intention is and one
couple you talk then you can do that buttons
you rub and say I find one
delicious smell smetje crossing between
lavender and camphor
in the past that was yes then that is 13 you
sheets
or your brewer’s beer might be one
tip for the owner of the times
well of course it is still possible now
but not with the likes of the
thijssepark please
must first really is a top would not not
would know what you can do you would
we can not do it
so much, well, I will really make you whole
can tell you a lot more about it
lavender and dinner is over
adulterous primroses
gruesome gorse number on it
is all there and there is all
stories fixed
but what I really want to say is you
that amstelveen
a treasure really accommodates a treasure and
seeds and plants, and it is for me
it is mainly a treasure that girls on the
Mr. reminded that she really really
must be careful with what we are
plants because we are a
collective working on all landscapes
effective to kill so but
well in here
in amstelveen it is really one for us
as a resident of amstelveen you are and
also a treasure but something a treasure that we
just every day where why
enrich
do not underestimate the power of plants
they give us the most basic of what we do
need
oxygen and we can be so terrible
enjoy
at least I would say I would go
please parker and
your children and your neighbor
does not matter
please be enchanted by the
beauty and the special character
from the parks and thus actually
of Dutch nature
