This Christmas holiday, you can stroll through the winter garden of Marres, plant a flower and listen to art stories: the gate of our city garden is open for a free visit for winter walkers from Wednesday 5 to Sunday 9 January 2022. Meet friends and family at a safe distance in the open air and warm up with chocolate milk and a homemade waffle.
Sowing & planting
For only €1.50 you can buy two flower bulbs. Plant one in the garden of Marres and one at home. This way, you contribute to a beautiful Marres flower garden in spring and follow the growth and blooming of your bulb at home. Hopefully we will welcome you again in spring to see how your flower is doing!
The Invisible Collection
In our garden, you can also listen to art stories from The Invisible Collection. The collection consists of a series of audio fragments in which art lovers talk about their favorite work of art. Grab a hot chocolate and a waffle and find one of the wooden benches. Scan the QR code with your phone and listen to stories about artworks from around the world.
Scarecrows
Scattered throughout the garden you find artist Christa van der Meer’s Scarecrows, made of kite paper. These Scarecrows were part of FASHIONCLASH Festival 2021 and fill the garden with colorful figures floating on the wind.
