Water creatures bench and compost heap object

Hortus Alkmaar

Composting and water bank

After the success of the bee carousel for Hortus Alkmaar, Peerdrops was asked to realize something beautiful for the compost pile and at the water. Both objects are interactive again, where children have to look for fun facts!

Under the ground and under water

The compost object suggests that you look underground for all the animals that are hiding in the 'VFG waste'. At the water object, which also functions as a seating element, you can look for the animals in the water. A true educational addition and also beautifully executed!

Epilogue :)

The drawing style has now been adopted by Hortus Alkmaar and of course we hope that more objects with this style will be realized in this area in the future!
