The Three Gardeneers!



The Three Gardeneers. One for All, All for Nature!
In Nijmegen three organic gardeners have decided to replace their vans by bikes and bicycle trailer. Only very rarely they need a van for their work and in that case they rent one. In general the bike and trailer is appropriate to do all the work in the innercity.

They safe a lot of money because they don't need to buy fuel and the don't pay any parking fee. Also the bicycle trailer attracts lots of attention and is a efficient marketing tool.

The Three Gardeneers are Marijn of De Ooijgaard, John of Tuinen&Teksten, and Michael of Heijting Tuinen.
