Renovation of the Ymere Badhoevedorp complex garden
Design, engineering and tendering
At the end of March, the renovation of the complex garden of Ymere at the Zernikehof in Badhoevedorp was completed. Our colleague Ruud Boon (project leader), was present at this moment together with Simon Piël (Ymere) and the residents' committee.
In consultation with the residents is a design made by the designers of van Buro Mien Ruys. Smit Groenadvies took care of the further engineering and tendering and during the implementation our colleague Roelof Lenis the management. Also he held during the trial supervision of the implementation.
The renovation was carried out by Robert Biesot of Biesot Gardens and Parks.
The pergola and sundial still need to be installed, but the new planting was already showing growth and everyone was pleased with the end result.

Healing environment in healthcare
Outdoor spaces at healthcare institutions have a positive and sometimes even healing effect on people. A well-thought-out garden design ensures that residents go outside more often, patients recover faster, and staff experience less stress. In the healthcare sector, such a garden is also referred to as a healing garden (the outdoor space) or a healing environment (both indoors and outdoors).

Not only because a garden full of plants, trees, and flowers looks beautiful, but also because it contributes to a healthier and more sustainable world. But what exactly are the benefits of a green garden? And what should you consider when creating a garden design?
