May was an important month in De Schildertuin / The Paint Garden. For me, it’s starting to get more and more exciting and inspiring. The flax went through a lot. A lot of the dye plants I sowed showed their first little leafs, others have grown a little bigger.

Growing flax
Flax is the plant of which linen is made. In april I prepared the fields and sowed the seeds. How are they looking now, about a month later?
De Schildertuin – about the project
“De Schildertuin – research with and about Dutch nature” is a project I started in february 2025. I will grow flowers and plants that can be used for making pigments and I will grow flax for linen fibers.
