Bijlmerpark Amsterdam

Know-how to grow

Colourful amelanchier underline the cheerful character of a children's playground. Just next to this is an area reserved for the future development of an arboretum. A path rises and falls towards the nature area, where groups of alders and cypresses, surrounded by blue irises and hemp-agrimony, decorate the banks of the water features. Next to a large pool, on a seven-metre-high hill, deliciously scented buddleias surround a viewing tower, which offers a magnificent vista of the park. In the spring, the magnolia valley, located just a little further on, forms a real natural oasis when the countless pink buds begin to open. And in the recreational meadow, enormous cedars create a different green experience yet again.
