机构概况
荷兰花园基金会 Nederlandse Tuinenstichting（简称 NTs）是一个专门保护荷兰花园与绿地遗产的基金会。其官方站点介绍自己时只提“ruim 40 jaar”（四十多年）从事这项工作，并未在公开页面给出精确的成立年份。基金会独立运营，办公地点位于荷兰，本身不接受政府拨款，主要依靠会员、赞助、捐赠和遗产继承来维持日常运转。
核心使命
基金会明确指出，荷兰国土面积小、人口密集，越来越多有文化历史价值的绿色空间面临消失风险，例如有规划的建筑工程、长期资金不足、缺乏专业知识等原因，都可能让原本“不可替代的绿色”受到威胁。围绕这一判断，基金会列出了五项核心任务：保护与维护历史与当代园林、庄园、公园和城市绿地；为政府和个人提供专业支持；提高公众对绿色文化遗产的认识；针对园林与景观设计师开展研究并出版成果；通过会员开放自家花园促进知识交流。
主要工作
基金会在公开档案中提到的工作重点分成两类。一是“绿色遗产”保护：基金会与“Heemschut”、“Cuypersgenootschap”等团体合作，对受威胁的庄园、公园、战后现代园林（基金会称为“Post-65”项目）、阿姆斯特丹运河带花园等具体案例发起行动，包括法律诉讼和向 Raad van State（国务委员会）上诉。二是推动花园向公众开放：基金会编辑的《Open Tuinengids》（开放花园指南）自 1991 年起按省份列出可供参观的花园与苗圃，最新一版收录约 448 处，涵盖历史庄园、现代特色园、食用花园、生态协作型公共项目等多种类型。
出版物
基金会出版两类读物。一是面向公众的《Open Tuinengids》与《Open Moestuinengids》（食用花园指南），年刊，覆盖荷兰各省的开放花园与苗圃目录，会员可免费获得。二是会员刊物《Tuinjournaal》（花园日报），每年三期，回溯可至 1984 年，全部存档上线，会员可随时查阅最近四十年的杂志内容。最近几期的主题包括志愿者、日本庭园的西方视角、花园中的动物、球根花卉、水在园林中的角色等等。
会员与支持
会员体系分几档。年费 49.5 欧元成为“朋友”，可获赠年度《开放花园指南》《食用花园指南》和三期《Tuinjournaal》，并获赠一张 Kwekerij Abbing 苗圃的 20 欧元礼券；带伙伴花园通行证的会员价格为 59.5 欧元；学生年费 30 欧元。基金会明确表示不接受政府资助，长期资金来自会员、定期捐赠、遗产继承和企业赞助。会员可以把私家花园登记到下一年度的《Open Tuinengids》向其他会员开放。
About
Nederlandse Tuinenstichting (NTs) is a Dutch foundation dedicated to the conservation of historic and contemporary gardens, parks, country estates and urban green space. The official site only states that it has been active for “ruim 40 jaar” (more than forty years); no precise founding year is published. NTs operates independently, does not receive government funding and is based in the Netherlands.
Mission
NTs argues that high-quality green space in the densely populated Netherlands is under pressure from building plans, lack of money and lack of knowledge. To counter this, it lists five core tasks: protecting and maintaining historic and contemporary gardens, parks and urban green; offering expertise to governments and private owners; raising public awareness of green cultural heritage; researching garden and landscape architects and publishing the results; and encouraging knowledge exchange by having members open their private gardens to other members.
Main Activities
NTs works on two fronts. First, “green heritage”: together with organisations such as Bond Heemschut and Cuypersgenootschap, NTs intervenes in threatened estates, post-war modern gardens (its Post-65 project), Amsterdam canal gardens and similar cases, including appeals to the Raad van State. Second, opening gardens to the public: NTs edits the Open Tuinengids (Open Gardens Guide), published since 1991 and listing by province the gardens and nurseries open to visitors. The Open Moestuinengids (Open Kitchen Gardens Guide) lists more than one hundred kitchen gardens. The latest Open Tuinengids contains roughly 448 gardens and nurseries.
Publications
NTs publishes two kinds of materials. The Open Tuinengids and Open Moestuinengids are annual guides to Dutch gardens and nurseries, available free to members. Tuinjournaal is the members’ magazine, appearing three times a year with an online archive stretching back to 1984; recent issues have covered volunteers, Japanese gardens seen from a Western perspective, animals in the garden, flower bulbs and water in the garden.
Membership and Support
Annual membership is 49.50 euro (“vriend”), which includes the two open-garden guides, three issues of Tuinjournaal and a 20 euro voucher from Kwekerij Abbing. A “partner-tuinenpas” membership is 59.50 euro. Students pay 30 euro. NTs explicitly states that it does not receive government funding; long-term income comes from members, periodic donations, legacies and corporate sponsors. Members may list their own gardens in the next Open Tuinengids.
