Garden guided tour
A WALK WITH STORY...
A guided tour of the Nardinclant estate
Step inside a living work of art. The garden at Nardinclant Estate is not a place you just look at - it is an experience you live. Discover the silence, symmetry and stories hidden among ancient trees and carefully designed paths.
You are welcome to take a garden walk or book a tour with guide and historical researcher Peter Prinssen. During this inspiring tour, he will take you through the rich history of the estate and its extraordinary design.
Designed by renowned landscape architect Leonard Springer, the gardens at Nardinclant are a stunning example of Dutch landscape art. Peter talks about the historical context of the design, the symbolism behind the gardens, and the special connection between the Nardinc Collection, Nardinc Hall, Nardinclant Estate, and the region of Het Gooi and Amsterdam.
Immerse yourself in stories, architecture and nature - and experience the garden as it was once intended: as a place of beauty, tranquility and meaning.
A unique garden tour full of stories and meaning
During the tour of Nardinclant Estate' s historic garden, Peter Prinssen, a guide and historical researcher, will talk about the rich history and special significance of the estate and its design.
Topics covered
History of Nardinclant Estate, garden design and vision of designer Leonard Springer.
The unique significance of this garden within Dutch garden architecture.
Garden history, focusing on plants, borders and current flora and fauna.
The historical context of 't Gooi and its special relationship with Amsterdam.
A walk full of reflection
During this walk there will be room for exchange and conversation. Questions such as "Is the reward the finished garden or rather the process of creation?" or "Is a garden just aesthetics, or an experience in itself?" invite reflection. For what is this garden really - a living painting you move through, or a moment of reflection in the midst of nature?
Nardinclant's garden design is classified within the Decorative Style. Within this design philosophy, each route tells a story: the garden unfolds bit by bit as you walk from one part to another.
During the walk, our head gardener and designer, Sjoerd Weiller, is also often at work in the garden. He is happy to answer questions and talk more about the daily maintenance and creative vision behind this living heritage.
