Boxelparaweg 22

While browsing the internet in search for anything about Suriname, Dick encountered the Botanical Garden Little Paradise in Boxel.

 

Already at the first meeting we were warmly welcomed by the owners, Erik and Neeta Kuiper. In 5 years time they had their barren land turned into a botanical garden: a beautiful cultivated piece of land, perfect to immerse yourself in the green world, accentuated with a cacophony of wildlife sounds. Hummingbirds buzzed, lizards rustled through the leaves, monkeys screeched, edible fruit or brightly coloured flowers in every tree and also the waters teemed with life. Actually, it looked exactly like our dream.
Even better, the adjacent land appeared to be for sale. But how do you negotiate with the seller when you are 7000 km away...?
Fortunately, Erik really helped us. He was invaluable for us in obtaining the piece of land. After half a year we were at the notary in Paramaribo to make it officially!
