The Arboretum in Park Meerland hosts over a thousand trees and shrubs from four continents. A truly international setting. When we asked Tom van Duuren of Arboretum Boomrijk in Meerhoven about a beautifiul tree garden in Meerhoven, we learned that in fact many trees all over the city originate from other countries. It gives a great
opportunity to connect with nature.

The arboretum is taken care of by volunteers. Residents can not only enjoy the collection of trees, but also adopt and donate a tree, for a special occasion or memory. April 14th, Mayor Jeroen Dijsselbloem planted the "Burgemeesters boom", a special species of tree discovered in China, that invites to celebrate special events. Traditionally it is often surrounded by letters and messages hanging from the branches.
