荷兰 Tuingoed Foltz 苗圃 – 百年植物专类园

创立背景与场地

Tuingoed Foltz 坐落在荷兰东部格罗宁根省 Meeden 村和 Westerlee 村之间一片约 4 公顷的土地上，三面被运河与沟渠环绕。1999 年夏天，Bob Foltz 与 Andries Bierling 找到这处刚好满 100 年的 Mastenbroek 老农庄，与当地政府初步洽谈后，便开始在这片肥沃的草场上规划自己的苗圃与展示花园。2000 年 2 月，他们在母本园中央种下第一棵树——一棵多干 Catalpa；一个月后，新苗圃正式对外开放。苗圃、植物与花园一直按自然友好的方式打理，不使用化学药剂，让植物有时间充分生长。

国家植物收藏与植物专长

苗圃持有荷兰国家植物收藏（NPC）中的 Salvia 属（鼠尾草）和 Echinacea 属（松果菊）两类。除此之外，苗圃在淫羊藿（Epimedium）、林地稀有植物、蕨类、prairie 植物、观赏草、热带丛林植物、铁线莲、一年生植物以及秋季的果树上都有深度收藏；植物总数约 3000 种，是荷兰规模较大、品类最丰富的特色植物苗圃之一。

苗圃与展示花园分区

整个园区的一半是苗圃与展示花园，另一半是景观公园。母本园（moerbedden）是苗圃与花园的心脏，几乎所有植物在这里都能看到成熟的株型，许多品种也在这里通过扦插、分株或采种进行扩繁。从母本园往里走分别是 Echinacea 与 prairie 花园、Salvia 与观赏草花园、环农庄的私家园、2014 年由 Bob 扩建的荫生园，以及尽头的”后地”（het achterland）——林荫道、榛树夹道、芦苇草迷宫、青蛙池塘和自然草甸一应俱全。

店铺、设计与古董

老农庄的旧马厩被改造成园艺工具店与 brocante 古董店。园艺工具以荷兰 De Wit 锻铁系列为主——这家品牌的钢叉、园艺耙等部分型号就是应苗圃需求开发的，享有终身保修；此外也销售 Felco 修枝剪、Opinel 刀具、OXXA/SHOWA 手套、Van Hemert 种子与 Ecostyle 有机肥。Brocante 古董部每年约三次前往法国、比利时、英国采购乡村旧物。苗圃同时也对外提供花园设计、施工与养护服务，prairietuin 是近年最受欢迎的设计主题。

群组接待与年度活动

苗圃每年举办多场主题周末：Alternatieve Kwekerijdagen、Rare Planten Dagen、Grote Exotenmarkt，以及秋季的 Fruit- en Snoeidagen（果树与修剪日），后者常与 Noordelijke Pomologische Vereniging 合作现场鉴定老苹果、梨、李等古老品种，并演示老式修剪技法。群组接待设有两档套餐，可加咖啡与导览。2026 年正值苗圃 25 周年，Bob Foltz 与 Andries Bierling 获颁第二届 Rob Leopold Penning，以表彰他们对（北部）荷兰园艺文化的连接与推动之功。

Founding and site

Tuingoed Foltz sits on roughly four hectares of pasture between the villages of Meeden and Westerlee in the eastern Groningen province of the Netherlands, bordered on three sides by canals and ditches. In the summer of 1999, Bob Foltz and Andries Bierling found the Mastenbroek farmstead — exactly one hundred years old — and after encouraging talks with the local municipality, they began shaping their nursery and display gardens on this fertile ground. The first tree, a multi-stem Catalpa, was planted in the centre of the mother beds in February 2000; the new nursery opened a month later. Plants are grown without chemical pesticides, and visitors are welcome to bring leashed dogs.

National collections and specialisations

The nursery holds the Dutch National Plant Collections (NPC) for Salvia and Echinacea. Beyond those two genera, the catalogue runs deep in Epimedium, unusual woodland plants, ferns, prairie plants, ornamental grasses, jungle plants, Clematis, annuals and, in autumn, fruit trees. The collection covers about three thousand species, making it one of the largest and most varied specialist nurseries in the Netherlands.

The nursery and display gardens

Half the grounds are working nursery and gardens; the rest is a landscape park. The mother beds (moerbedden) form the heart of both — most of the plants are grown on here to maturity, and a large share of the stock is propagated from the same beds by cuttings, division or seed. Beyond the mother beds lie the Echinacea and prairie garden, the Salvia and ornamental grass garden, a circular private garden around the old farmhouse, Bob’s shade garden (extended in 2014), and the “achterland” — a hazel walk, a grass labyrinth, a frog pond and a nature meadow reached through a linden avenue.

Shop, design and brocante

The old stable has been turned into a garden shop and brocante boutique. The forged tools of the Dutch brand De Wit are the centrepiece — some models, including the taproot lifter and a forged garden rake, were developed with the nursery’s input and carry a lifetime guarantee on the forging. The shelves also carry Felco pruners, Opinel knives, OXXA and SHOWA gloves, Van Hemert seeds and Ecostyle organic fertilisers. Three times a year, roughly, the team travels to France, Belgium or England for brocante. The nursery also designs, builds and maintains gardens, with prairie plantings — grasses with Echinacea, Helenium, Agastache and Eryngium — as the current signature style.

Group visits and annual events

Open from March to mid-November, Wednesday through Saturday plus the first and third Sundays of the month. The calendar runs with themed weekends: the Alternative Nursery Days, the Rare Plant Days, the Great Exotics Market and, in autumn, the Fruit and Pruning Days, where old apple, pear and plum varieties can be identified at the Noordelijke Pomologische Vereniging stand and pruning demonstrations are held in the old orchard. Two group arrangements (coffee and self-guided walk; coffee and guided tour) are available by reservation. In 2026, on the nursery’s twenty-fifth anniversary, Bob Foltz and Andries Bierling received the second Rob Leopold Penning for their role in connecting northern Dutch garden culture.
