Meet Carolien

For Carolien, who lives in her self-built tiny house, spring is a special time. It’s the moment when not only nature awakens, but she and her cozy home do as well.

Living in a tiny house, surrounded by her garden and nature, makes the changing of the seasons a deeply immersive experience. As soon as the first rays of sunlight warm her veranda, she loves sitting there with a cup of coffee, soaking in the scents and sounds of the awakening spring. But there’s not always time to sit still—this season is also perfect for getting things done outdoors. The garden needs attention—sowing, pruning, and discovering what is sprouting again, all of which bring great satisfaction.

What makes spring even more special is the opportunity to forage again. Nature is full of edible treasures, from young nettle tops for tea to wild garlic for fresh salads. Curious about foraging and how to get started yourself? Read our blog on foraging and discover the tastiest edible plants in nature!
