‘Nature and art help me when I’m overstimulated. The Essenburgpark in my neighbourhood is new and still a well-kept secret. It has the feel of a jungle. Garage Rotterdam combines art and nature and currently has a fascinating exhibition. On Sunday, it’s party time for Zoef at the Vroesenpark, where they sell delicacies from a French pastry chef in the pavilion.

Besides great gifts, flowers and plants, Niche Flowershop also has a fantastic backyard. It’s so quiet there, a wonderful contrast to the lively Binnenweg.’
