Stadstuin in Amsterdam-West

“Urban escape”

In the bustling city, David and Georgina, Amsterdammers from southern England, are crafting a serene garden sanctuary behind their home. This green escape offers a perfect retreat from city life.

The garden, accessible through large sliding doors, is alive with the buzz of bees and fluttering butterflies. Lavender and rosemary fill the air with sweet fragrances, attracting pollinators and adding a touch of home.

At the center, a cozy seating area under a flowering clematis provides a peaceful spot to eat. Their dog, enjoys a sunny corner nearby. A charming table for two, surrounded by potted herbs and leafy greens, is perfect for al fresco dining, with fresh basil, mint, and chives adding flavor to their meals.

Tall trees and jasmine-covered trellises ensure privacy, creating a tranquil atmosphere. From the living room, the garden view is enchanting, changing with the seasons—from spring daffodils to summer foxgloves, autumn’s golden hues, and winter’s evergreens.

For David and Georgina, this garden is more than a retreat; it’s a testament to their love for nature. Here, the chaos of Amsterdam fades, leaving only the serenity of their urban oasis.
