Sand, wind, purple heather and the fresh scent of pine....
This is exactly what makes De Loonse en Drunense Duinen so special: one of the most beautiful nature reserves in Brabant.

With this cultivation kit you can experience that feeling at home too. See how your own little tree grows step by step and remind you again and again of a visit to this unique area.

Here's how to get started

You don't need a green thumb! These simple steps will get you a long way:

  1. Allow to swell | Place coconut tablets in a bowl and add water until they expand completely.

  2. Fill the pots | Fill the pots with the coconut soil and press lightly.

  3. Sow | Sow 1 to 3 seeds per pot and cover them very thinly with soil.

  4. Light & moisture | Put the pots in a warm, light spot and keep the soil slightly moist.

  5. Patience | It can take a while for seeds to germinate. Sometimes weeks to months.
