Our Team

Team Japanese Garden

The Japanese Garden is run by one head of office, three administrative employees and four employees who work in the Japanese Garden and care for the grounds. Besides that we also work with an entire team of volunteers who will greet you at the entrance of the Garden and walk around it, keeping an eye out for anyone that needs help.

If you have any questions please contact us at our emailadres japansetuin@hasselt.be, there your email will be treated by one of our employees.
