Hardinxveld/Giessendam
The Dutch village of Hardinxveld/Giessendam consists of polder roads with
long narrow pastures. Along the road the view from the farmhouses gives a magnificent
perspective. Little canals form the perimeters for the elongated stretches
of land.
Lucien den Arend proposed to do a pollard
willow project in this setting.
Piet Burger, a friend who lived in one of the farmhouses, offered to have the
rear of his property transformed into a circular island.
