At the crossing of 2 ; oude molenweg and niels bohrstraat, Maastricht you will find a sandy path going into the country. While entering this path you will find the gate to the field directly on you right side.

After a 6 weeks stay with Freek and Roos and all the volunteers, my friend and I can say that working at LOCOtuin was more than pleasant. The activities were varied and the hours flexible, which allows you to have free time to discover the region. We learned a lot about how to grow organic vegetables and flowers. As far as accommodation is concerned, we were welcomed by a couple who were very friendly members of the garden. Their house is located 5 minutes by bike which is ideal. We will keep very good memories of our visit to Maastricht.
