→ Internationals in the Kruidenbuurt We bought our house on the ‘Piazza delle Lavande’ on 20-02-2020; a rhyming date, easy to remember. This specific house, the Nigella-type, because of the minimalistic design of the façade and extensive garden. Also, the big central full-glass window and the open view on the ‘plein’ sold us immediately. We see this as a vibrant, multicultural neighborhood, still conserving a distinctly authentic Dutch essence. Living up to its Kruidenbuurt-name, with as much diversity of human characters as the variety of spices found in its streetnames. Adaptable coriander types, calming lavender spirits, rare edelweisses, wise thymes, sweet fennels and bold oreganos. And although there isn’t a ‘Brandnetelstraat’ in the Kruidenbuurt, we do occasionally encounter some annoying nettles in our own! A point of criticism? The current condition of the grounds in the new section of the Lavendelplein is disappointing, even regrettable. Why not fill it with all existing species of lavenders, in keeping with the square’s name? “We see this as a vibrant, multicultural neighborhood, still conserving a distinctly authentic Dutch essence.” Vito Conte & Jordi Gort, kopers fase 4 97 De laatste loodjes 96
