-- Stekkenplek Zwingelspaan (Our Garden), Netherlands http://home.concepts.nl/~ruud_ien/
Switching to a smaller scale, this is a private garden in the Netherlands. This is the story of a family who moved from the city to the country and made a beautiful garden. Some of it I cannot read, but the beautiful pictures tell the story. They have some English on their pages.

This garden was founded in 1951 with an area of 370 ha. It is the only garden in the northern part of the middle taiga zone of European Russia. By the pictures it looks like a rugged mountain garden. Plants include trees and shrubs of Europe, Asia and America, a herb section (medicinal plants, ornamentals)and nurseries for fruit trees, berry shrubs and ornamentals. The rest of the garden (about 330 ha) is native vegetation, forests, meadows, swamps and rocks. Nice site!
