This site is the English version of my (Dutch/Flemish) Tuinsafari website. My main motivation in making an English version is not to get more visitors per se, but rather to get more people who can correct errors and identify things. So please contact me if you see anything that needs correction or clarification!
Just to make things abundantly clear: all of this is permanently under construction. And I'm not a specialist in anything, so errors very probably abound!
