For six months we are citizen scientists at Casa d

For six months we are citizen scientists at Casa di Sprighi. Our garden is one of the 5,000 measuring points that collect data for CurieuzeNeuzen in de Tuin, the largest study ever into heat and drought in Flanders. Today we installed a smart soil sensor and took a soil sample. The sensor allows us to monitor heat and drought in real time. It measures the air temperature, soil temperature and soil moisture every 15 minutes.
The soil sample is used to determine what kind of soil the garden has (water-retaining or permeable) and whether it is rich in organic carbon, an indicator of the extent to which the garden functions as a storage place for CO2. Why do we measure? 8% of the land area in Flanders is occupied by gardens: a blind spot in the field of scientific data. By measuring in gardens, playgrounds, industrial estates and public areas, we can make the current heat and drought map much more accurate. what is the direct impact of heat and drought on my living environment? #curieuzeneuzenindetuin Cute photo of Fender taken by @senne.spreij

Spring’s here with bees swarming from the bee ho

Spring’s here with bees swarming from the bee hotel. We installed it last year and all the rooms were booked. In the background you hear the sound of a colony of house sparrows. Hundreds of them live in our neighbourhood. Lovely birds!

So happy how these commissioned artworks in the #1

So happy how these commissioned artworks in the #100daysnottheblankpage series turned out. Love the way the charming photos of the clients’ parents tell a story of their own and come alive with the new illustrations.

I made this super relaxed fit shirt with leftover fabric. And it was the first time I designed a colour block pattern from scratch. Will definitely sew some more and reduce my stack of jersey remnants this fun way. Hope you all have a lovely weekend ❤️
