Tile out, meal in! - By nature Vincent, doing things differently
In 2025 it will be exactly 140 years since Vincent van Gogh painted The Potato Eaters in Nuenen. A tribute to peasant life, simplicity and connection with nature. From Van Gogh Nationaal Park we seize this theme to address the urgency for our biodiversity, the health of the people of Brabant and the future of agriculture. That is why we are bringing this tribute to life with the campaign "Tile out, meal in. "
Greening
With this campaign, which starts today, we invite Brabanders in 2025 to green their fossilized living environment and become aware of the regional products that can be found close to home and grown themselves. We are doing this in cooperation with several parties, such as Brabants Streekgoed and the province of North Brabant.
Central to the approach is the call to residents to take action themselves. Rip out a tile from your garden, plant the seeds as instructed, and a few months later you'll be eating your own harvested meal - fresh from the garden! Good for you, good for nature. So together we make the environment greener, more biodiverse and tastier. Participants have a chance to win fun, green and fair prizes. Seed packets can be ordered via the Brabants Streekgoed website.
By nature Vincent
Under the motto "Stronger Together", Van Gogh Nationaal Park, Van Gogh Sites Foundation, Van Gogh Village Nuenen, Van Gogh Etten-Leur and Van Gogh Homeland present a common ambition and principles in a covenant in which they join forces to tell the Van Gogh story of Brabant in a clear and impactful way.
By doing so, we want to:
✔ make the legitimacy of Van Gogh in Brabant more understandable to everyone
Strengthen each other
Increase and spread the reach of our joint activities
Achieve more social impact
Therefore, from the end of March 2025, they will go public as collaborating Van Gogh organizations in Brabant with the collective expression:
"Vincent by nature; looking differently, thinking differently, doing differently."
