And perhaps to honor her majestys visit this italian beaches on british four day Rainy Weather included. Or from rainy italy we travel to the netherlands the countrys biggest city amsterdam boasts a rich cultural history and some of its tucked away in backyards in the private gardens of seventeenth and eighteenth century canal houses normally visitors wouldnt even know that these spaces exist but once a year tourists and residents alike can get a glimpse into the secret world youre max reporter meghan lee took a closer look. These private gardens are small always sees in the heart of amsterdam they belong to the citys wealthiest residents and once a year homeowners allow visitors to get a sneak peek inside for the open garden days. And i was on hand for the experience. So weve just arrived at our first address to take a look inside and see what awaits us. Twenty eight private addresses were on this Years Program visitors can catch a quick glimpse into how the home owners live on their way to the garden some of them designed the gardens themselves like dutch architect hans witt who says hes happy to welcome visitors into his home for many reasons the moment we are retired so thats number one so we have the time to do it here and so are also always supported the garden should be beautiful for the day so you push yourself a little bit to make the garden beautiful and the most important parties we are privileged that we live here and i see a lot of people like to see the gardens behind canals now you designed this garden what is the key to it. Maintenance and it should be fitting by the more or less eighteenth Century Office building in. Amsterdam resident. Is the organizer of open garden days and a garden designer herself some of her creations are also on display including this one which she designed for an office it was a very romantic overgrown old garden the dimensions so i think thirty years ago Something Like that was an old couple. And it had very old trees but they were sick so they have had to cut them so they start all over again while i sort. Of well its nice to do something with flowing forms the shape of the greenery and the landscape are meant to reflect the Constant Movement in the office. So ive just visited yet another garden there is so much Walking Around on this tour but i have found a really clever way to get around to the next car and do is the dutch do what drives us here on the floor next to ours and. Navigating amsterdam streets is best done by bike but even that can be tricky when the crowds take over. Openings each store is like stepping into another world. From seems like the wilderness to manage your Landscape Architecture every garden is different. Its been lovely its so different than doing it its the normal american tours he gave us a chance to see more of how the dutch look. Many of the visitors are also surprised to find such green spaces behind these canal houses but each one offers a group read from the hustle and bustle of city life. History is always present. Designer eric foner and center his design around a symbolic tree when it stood tall jewish teenager and frank side every day from her window while hiding from nazi persecution its a bit of a monumental sportspeople to treat it something thats an essay. For me to remind me sometimes of the force of trees falling and then you have this gap in the ground with a lot of water for example destruction and so we created a little palms which looks natural home just before its more of the swamp thing but there for the most so its about life its also must look like a fairy tale. Dam is famous for its can now so travelling by boat is popular were doing is the dutch do and we fly down a boat so were going to travel down these canals by boat with one of the local residents so lets go. To amsterdam has more than one hundred kilometers. Canals the three main ones were dug in the seventeenth century during the dutch golden age. Even more for the working people well it was meant for the working people and. Where for the wealthy people you can see it at the space the houses take next to each other theyre bigger and more ornamental more beautiful houses. Are more basic simple basic here means an average house price of one and a half Million Euros enough but looking at them costs nothing. So my tour of the open garden days is coming to an end but what im taking away is that this event is so much more than just about seeing the private secret carnes behind the doors of these fantastic houses its about meeting the people and talking to them and seeing what their ideas behind their gardens in their lives and visitors can do this every year on the third weekend of june so till next time dont seem. Well done travail meghan for that insight into amsterdams secret dog staying in the netherlands we turn to the spinning icon of dutch culture the windmill its along with juleps and cloggs internationally associated with the netherlands its been a fixture of the local countryside for centuries but nowadays theyre largely out of use but young dutch women and men are volunteering to help preserve the traditions of millet croft which has made it on to unescos list of intangible cultural heritage. Mills are driven by wind power. And thats what krista needs when she wants to grind her flower she lives near a mill in the northern dutch province of friesland. On a saturday i want to bake some bread and i thought oh were familiar our favorite so i went there to buy some flour and. The volunteer introduced me to the meal and they showed me around yeah i just know. So when shes not working part time as a purchasing assistant shes training as a voluntary miller son derek is teaching her everything she needs to know classroom learning is supplemented with practical experience. It takes muscles to operate the mill. So when i started to work i wasnt that strong as i am now but yeah im getting stronger after thawing yet. Today only about fifty of the netherlands millers are professional the other fifteen hundred work on a volunteer basis if they didnt most of the mills would stand idle. But the volunteers run them at least a few days a week. To be the old mans board now would you get younger and younger people and thats good because it will. At least maintain for one work on. The mill drum. Theres all the good. Kind theres going to tour its over all his troops amassed. So we have to. Do crafts so that the people in the. Mills have operate. It in the netherlands since the thirteenth century. They had a radical impact on the country driving its Economic Growth industrial mills processed paints or sawed wood. The polder windmills pump water out of low areas and help to drain the land once underwater much of the netherlands lies below sea level if not for these mills some regions wouldnt even exist. Five in the one thousand century there were some ten thousand mills around the country now only about twelve hundred survive among them are water mills generally in the south of the country. Special about this mill its combination of having both a cord mill. So therefore the water water mill was equipped with two water wheels. The military was in water as a source of energy so the milk of birds that water into rotational imo. This mill near eindhoven was first built in the thirteenth century by monks. Fund bosal has been coming here since he was a little boy he descends from a family of millions who have been looking after the milk for decades now. Over the years hes learned how to operate it and use it to press for oil from flaxseed. I find a really interesting that we are using an old technique with still works smoothly so the technique its visible inside the mill moreover we are only using water as a source of. Thats pretty cool i think. The ground and roasted flexi disporting to sachs which are wedged into the loyal press. So im using air protection now because of its getting love. Much of the oil from one pressing misses the container but its not as much about productivity as about for anything the traditional life that is thirty running this mill i would be nice to follow up in the future so. Back in friesland crystal has ground all the flowers she needs to bake her bread she has plans to open her own building careen. Its a dream to make a thinking out of this it will be really nice if i can work all the time with the mill work in the bakery meet people bring people here together and move makes me very happy. As long as young millers like krista and robert are committed to keeping the traditional life the wheels of Dutch Ministry will keep on turning.
