Media Files==== De Tuin van Jan ==== Is a new public park in Amsterdam-West designed in workshops by FoAM during the Pop-Up Park festival. === Design === This former schoolyard is enclosed within a block of 1920's architecture in an area within Amsterdam-West that is particularly devoid of green spaces. FoAM has joined initiator **Arnoud Hekkens** in opening this 1000m2 yard to the public. With local inhabitants under the guidance of some 5 experts, many designs were made and combined into a final design by Sanne Horn. The final design is inspired by the Ryad, the Middle Eastern palace gardens or paradise garden. === Focus === The tuin van Jan is centered around 5 main focus points. For each of these an expert has been guiding the process from the first workshops until the final design. * **Sanne Horn**: garden design, layout and plant selection * **Martin Mechers**: urban ecology, who can live here * **Dirk van Berge**: orchard, urban fruits * **Fransje de Waal**: permaculture, the garden within the neighborhood * **Dirk Overduin**: material cycles, resourcing and recycling within a 5 km radius * **Johannes Frolich**: water management (joined in later) === Timeline === The main structure of the garden, like landscaping and pavement, will be implemented in the summer of 2012. Much of the planting will follow in the course of 2013. === Links === website: [[http://www.detuinvanjan.nl/|De Tuin van Jan]]Please fill all the letters into the box to prove you're human.
