This garden centre is amazing!! The way it's been built and also the location mean that loads of light come shining in which is a great way to brighten up my day in every way possible. And that's just the first thing you notice only just before you notice the ocean of flowers and cleverly placed pots. And I sure love my flowers!
After the garden flowers there is a pretty darn big collection of herbs, vegetables, seeds, fruit trees and all kinds of amazing things to grow and eat. Which with my love of food is obviously my favourite part of any garden centre! Sadly I live in an apartment with two small balconies and no garden, but now I have finally found these ingenious stacking pots so I can have all my herbs in one place and still have enough space to wiggle my butt on my balcony: awesomesauce!
So, besides all the amazing plants, they also have a small collection of animal supplies, a cute little café and loads of inside and outside decorations.
The little café has yummy coffee, snacks and sandwiches that they make on the spot. And this weekend they had a lovely offer going on with their "oranje tompoucen". For those of you who don't know what that is, it's basically a napoleon (puff, custard, puff, icing) and the Dutch love to colour them orange around footy season and also for Queen's day, which is today! Anyway, back to the story... as a cute celebration of our queen before she steps down today, Intratuin had free oranje tompoucen for every customer that came by the café. And since I came here both Saturday and Sunday, I may or may not have scarfed down two of these delicious desserts with the accompaniment of a flavoured cappuccino...
Also, I may or may not have spent about 200 euro's here in two days on décor, plants and pots.
So that may be the one negative thing here; everything is so amazing that my wallet now already is exhausted from me just thinking about this garden centre. Woops! read more
