Enjoy working with the Groengroep!!

At the Dakpark you can participate in green management with the Groengroep every Saturday morning from 10 to 12. We weed and train and prune plants. We compost and sometimes we can harvest; herbs, quinces or flowers. Everyone can participate in the Groengroep. If you like being outdoors and are interested in gardening, you will quickly join in with the other participants. We find each other because we enjoy working outside with each other in the green. You don't have to register or unsubscribe, you can participate once or every week. There is always someone present who knows what needs to be done, arranges tools and can provide explanations if necessary. You don't have to have green fingers; pleasure in working with plants outdoors is enough. On average, 7 people work every week. Nice if you participate: Gather at 9:45 am in the Community Garden We work from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM The Neighborhood Garden can be found at the entrance to the Dakpark on Hudsonstraat near Catharina Beersmanstraat. If you walk up the stairs you will see a green oasis on the left with a black/green house, if all goes well there are already a few people there with a cup of coffee! We do not work during the (school) summer and Christmas holidays

Stichting Dakpark Rotterdam

Without them, for example, the gardens would be less beautiful, the park dirtier, there would be no chickens or sheep and we would not be able to offer many activities for free. So your efforts are certainly not in vain. Moreover, being outside in greenery is good for your health. We also offer you a friendly group of people and knowledge & skills. We have several volunteer clubs, you can be physically active with green jobs from gardening to repairing fences. But you can also keep your hands clean and help organize activities or become treasurer in the 'volunteer board'. Maybe you have an idea that is not being organized at the moment; If you join our activities you will discover how you can set this up. So hopefully there is something there that appeals to you. Just come by, participate in our activities, look at our website or contact us if you want to know more.

Pruning fruit trees at Dakpark (learning by doing)

08-02-2025 ยท 4 to 4 hours
Stichting Dakpark Rotterdam

Saturday 8 February we will prune the fruit trees around the Community Garden. There are also berry bushes between the trees, which we will tackle right away. So there is a lot to prune, carry and learn. There are apple, pear, plum and cherry trees along the adventure path. Various fruit bushes such as currants and gooseberries also grow underneath. In the spring, the flowering fruit hedge is a feast for the eyes. Pruning fruit is a careful job, but once you get the hang of it, it is almost meditative. Marco Vos from Donkergroen will explain how to do it; pruning fruit trees. The workshop is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and there will be a cup of soup in between! We will provide tools and gloves. If you have a nice or good pair of scissors yourself, you can of course use them. Saturday 8 February 9:45 gather at the Community Garden 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. get started with pruning fruit

Stichting Dakpark Rotterdam

On March 15, we will prune the hydrangeas around the playground at Dakpark. We have been maintaining these hydrangeas for several years, the annual pruning ensures rich flowering in the summer. This year, we hope to do a lot of work again with some extra hands during the national volunteer day NL-Doet. Marco Vos from green contractor Donkergroen will explain the types and how to prune. You can immediately put this into practice on the many plants that are there. For this activity, we would like you to register via the NL-Doet website (search for Dakpark). Saturday March 15, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Coffee and tea with something tasty, and a hearty cup of soup for lunch will be provided. You will find the Community Garden in the park to the left of the stairs at the intersection of Hudsonstraat and Catharina Beersmansstraat There are quite a few of them and they have to be pruned every year in the spring. Quite a job, and we would like some help with it, so that we can have a wealth of flowers again in the summer.

Good morning I live in Rotterdam Spangen and experience the pain and limitations of Rheumatism every day. Unfortunately I can no longer do things like I could 1 year ago. Feeding cats, going to the toilet, shopping and cycling is a battle that I first have to overcome by reducing pain. Rheumatism patients will certainly know this. I would like to get in touch with these people to get advice and information/support. My number is 15697736. Thank you very much Bart

DUO for a JOB

DUO for a JOB is a Rotterdam foundation that connects young people with a migration background (mentees) to volunteer 50-plussers (mentors). Together they work together for six months (approximately 2 hours per week) as DUO to actively take steps towards a job, internship or training for the young person. With this intergenerational and intercultural mentoring program, DUO for a JOB wants to: 1) reduce inequality in access to the labor market, 2) better appreciate and use the knowledge and experience of 50-plussers, and 3) bring people into contact who would not normally meet each other in daily life. Thanks to the customized guidance provided by the mentors and the foundation, the mentees gain more self-confidence, become more independent and know better which tools they can use in their search for work or training. As a result, 7 out of 10 mentees find a sustainable job, training or internship that suits them. For mentors, DUO for a JOB offers a substantive training program, coaching experience and an enriching social experience. This is experienced so positively that 8 out of 10 mentors want to continue with a second mentee after six months. Want to know more?
