Lente in de Boomgaard

Het voorjaar is weer losgebarsten. De dagen worden langer, de temperatuur stijgt en de boomgaard voor de deur komt tot bloei. Er komt langzaam meer kleur in de natuur en dankzij de eerste lentezon beginnen de knopjes langzaam open te breken van de 540 bomen die eind vorig jaar zijn geplant.

Geduld tot de oogst

“We zien de fruitgewassen recht voor onze neus in bloei komen en wachten tot de vruchten gaan groeien,” vertelt algemeen directeur Gerrit van Gelder enthousiast. “De boomgaard is zeker in deze tijd van het jaar een schitterende gezicht en een mooie entree om door heen te lopen voordat je het Experience Center binnen stapt.’’

Er is nog even geduld nodig tot de diverse soorten appels, peren en pruimen van de boom geplukt kunnen worden. In de boomgaard groeien onder andere Golden Delicious, Delcorf, maar ook Elstar appels en de vroege zomerappel, de summercrisp. Ook peren als Xenia, Beurré Alexander Lucas en traditionele soorten als de Gieser Wildeman, Doyenné du Comice en Conference kunnen straks geplukt en geproefd worden. ‘’We kijken al uit naar de oogst over een paar maanden en hopen dat we dan ook weer klanten en scholen uit de buurt bij dit project kunnen betrekken. Direct van de bron is niet voor niks ons motto, dus de appel valt niet ver van de boom’’, lacht Gerrit.
