This woodland garden is located in the Maintebos in almost the heart of Winschoten. In the 1920s, there was a sand excavation in this part of Winschoten. The work was carried out between the buildings at the time. As a result, this garden has a height difference of almost five metres. Unprecedented in the flat Groningen countryside. Later, a park was created in the area and the garden is now in the middle of it, accessible via a semi-paved forest path. This location in the park gives the garden something intimate and private. It feels like a 'small' (1700 m2) green oasis in which the birds can be heard at length. And where the difference in height, steps, seats and forest plants give the garden a special charm. Efforts are made to give the garden a casual look. As if everything grows and blooms by itself, which of course it does not.
