Outdoor space Jeroen Bosch Hospital

Know-how to grow

There are no parked cars or ambulances in front of the entrance to the Jeroen Bosch Hospital, and no cool hospital atmosphere. People enjoy the sun whilst sitting on benches with large multi-stem trees of heaven completing the picture. On the landscape side of the hospital, the Gement nature reserve literally extends right up to the wall of the building. There are wildflower meadows of lush high grasses and a wide watercourse curving through the site. The native birch, willow, poplar and alder trees on the sloping reed banks complete the Holland landscape. Once inside, the green patios between the buildings draw the attention. For these courtyards we consciously chose multi-stem, exotic trees that provide a range of flowers, forms and colours: including Gingko, Magnolia, Japanese Flowering Cherry and Golden Rain Trees. As a result of this there is something different to see at every location in every season.
