Sustainable initiatives

Het Voedselbos

Until then, you can meet initiator Eveline from Haagse Honing every Thursday from 12:00pm to 3:00pm. Look carefully for her because she may be hidden among the nettles!

Trashure Hunt

Mens en Tuin (see banner)
Man and Garden is a care garden where participants work who receive personal attention while working in the garden or greenhouses. This special garden is over 2000 m2 and is located on the edge of Moerwijk in The Hague. The garden is divided into 8 themes: bee, water, herb, vegetable, rose, forest, fruit and bird garden. The kitchen garden store sells various plants and other garden products.

Lekker Nassuh
They sell fresh vegetables, At Lekker Nassuh they sell fresh vegetables, from the region, grown without poison and fertilizers and without packaging materials. Every Wednesday you can get a fresh package. In a package you will find at least 7 different vegetables; fresh, healthy and very tasty!

Buitenplaats de Molenwei
The Molenwei is a nature and recreation farm. Around the farm, nature is being restored and strengthened. New landscapes are being created for the purpose of biodiversity restoration. One of these landscapes, for example, is the Tiny Forest that you can walk through. Within a few years, it will be impossible to imagine the Randstad without the green hotspot Molenwei. Be sure to make a stop here during a bike ride through the countryside between The Hague, Zoetermeer and Leiden.

Throughout the year, lodgers are welcome with their own camping equipment or in cozy Camping Pods that are at the ready.

Amare
With four theater and concert halls, a meeting center, a large number of public spaces and two hospitality venues, Amare is a great cultural and convention center. This beautiful and special theater opened its doors in 2021. And the great thing is; sustainability is also at the heart of Amare. It is a sustainably built arts complex, with various measures already taken into account since the construction process. The catering is 80% plant-based and at least organic and fair trade. Not surprisingly, Amare also already has a Green Key certificate.
 

Tegelwippen
The Hague is the proud winner of the Golden Scoop of the NK Tile Scooping! Our city scooped the most tiles in all of the Netherlands. Altogether, more than 200,000 tiles were removed from the ground. Now there are flowers and plants where the tiles used to be. The city has been greened up even more.
