Heath Garden
The Heath Garden – A Hidden Treasure in Driebergen
Tucked away behind quiet homes and whispering trees, the Heath Garden in Driebergen is a place many have forgotten and yet, it is unforgettable to those who know it.
Once a cherished part of the local landscape, this garden now quietly resists the pull of time and neglect. It’s a space that has seen better days, but it continues to live on through the love and dedication of a few who refuse to let it fade completely. Their efforts often unseen.
Stepping into the Heath Garden feels a bit like stepping into someone’s memory. There’s a deep stillness here, wrapped in birdsong and soft winds through the heather.
Though it may not shout for attention, the Heath Garden holds a quiet kind of magic. It offers peace to those who wander in, and a gentle reminder that beauty doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful. For those who care for it, and those who find themselves drawn to its charm, this garden is more than just green space it's a beloved refuge, and a symbol of what can thrive with just a little care
An ode to the heath garden behind my house.
A tribute, so that this beautiful place
will always be tended, always remembered.
A place sometimes invisible,
even to the beloved visitor.
Its beauty quiet,
its story whispered in the wind,
waiting to be seen.
Once mapped by a traveler,
a tourist who fell in love
at first sight.
Who read love in old letters
In shared memories
In the way people came together.
This is not just a garden.
It is a feeling,
a gentle breath of peace,
a space held up by love
and the quiet wish
that it may never be lost.
