Interesting or nice about this vacancy
The De Blije Bodem Foundation has an ambitious mission: to transform a depleted piece of land into a flourishing, green oasis full of life, both above ground and in the soil. This place offers space for relaxation, meeting, fun, and education. While we help restore the soil and let it flourish, our garden is open to everyone.
Visitors can unwind, and participants in our pick-your-own garden enjoy healthy, pesticide-free vegetables, fruit, and herbs from our own soil. Stichting De Blije Bodem is committed to serving as an inspiring example of nature-inclusive, small-scale community agriculture. By working together, we are building a future in which people and nature reinforce each other.
Tasks and duties
What does Stichting De Blije Bodem do? The daily maintenance of the garden and cultivation are carried out by two experienced gardeners. The foundation focuses on: The physical and organizational structure of the garden. Keeping the project financially healthy. Building and connecting an engaged community of volunteers, harvest participants, and visitors. Developing creative and educational ways to promote our project and our vision.
Skills and qualities
The foundation was established to give the project to the community and to ensure it can continue to exist independently of the gardeners. Sustainability and connection in the broadest sense are current topics within the foundation. Do you have a warm (green) heart for our approach and goals, and would you like to contribute yourself? We are looking for a secretary to support the foundation! The specifics of the position are open for discussion but essentially involve taking minutes of meetings and contributing ideas and making decisions regarding the further development and growth of the garden.
As the board, we meet with the gardeners once a month at an agreed time. We discuss how things are going and make plans for further growth. By mutual agreement, these meetings are also regularly opened to volunteers and participants to allow for informal consultation. Would you be interested in getting acquainted? Then email a letter with your motivation and CV to marijke@deblijebodem.nl to schedule an introductory meeting.

About Stichting De Blije Bodem
Stichting De Blije Bodem is een regeneratieve zelfoogsttuin in Groningen. Een voedseltuin van 4500m2 voor omwonenden met onbespoten verse groente, kruiden en bloemen. Wij vinden dat lokaal en zo gezond mogelijke voeding beschikbaar moet zijn voor iedereen. Onze tuinder teelt alle groente, onze deelnemers oogsten vervolgens zelf waar ze behoefte aan hebben. We werken met een solidair betalingssysteem; iedereen kan met elk budget verse groente oogsten. We willen tot 200 mensen van gezonde voeding gaan voorzien. We besteden veel aandacht in het ondersteunen en maximaliseren van de biodiversiteit; we maken van een uitgeput stuk grond een groene oase in de stad. De tuin is volledig openbaar, we iedereen mag komen genieten van deze prachtige plek. Educatie is een belangrijk onderdeel; we delen graag kennis en hopen nieuwe generaties te inspireren, van groenteteelt tot het herstellen van complete ecosystemen en het weer in verbinding komen met jezelf, de natuur en anderen.
