Functie, werk en positie 1621-1732.

De tuinen van de prinsen en prinsessen van Oranje waren toonaangevend in de zeventiende eeuw. Op basis van intensief onderzoek in archieven heeft Lenneke Berkhout een vijftigtal hoveniers en ander tuinpersoneel kunnen identificeren die deze indrukwekkende tuinen verzorgden. Ze beschrijft hun verantwoordelijkheden, hun (financiële) positie, hun relatie met de prins(es) van Oranje en de veranderingen die hierin de loop van de tijd optraden. De hoveniers hielden zich onder andere bezig met de teelt van groenten en fruit, de aanleg van parterres, de verzorging van uitheemse planten en de 'broeikunst'. Zij speelden ook een rol in de professionalisering van het hoveniersvak, de ontwikkeling van nieuwe technieken en de (internationale) uitwisseling van horticulturele kennis. Berkhout schetst een kleurrijk beeld van de dagelijkse gang van zaken in en om de tuinen, van een prinses die haar hoveniers zeer waardeerde tot een snoeischaar voor de Franse koning als vredesgeschenk.

Lenneke Berkhout kreeg op 27 oktober 2020 de Ithakaprijs voor dit boek: 'Het juryrapport prijst de wijze waarop de auteur het werk van deze 17de- en 18de-eeuwse hoveniers beschrijft en tegelijk ook een uitstekend gedocumenteerd beeld geeft van hun persoonlijke omstandigheden, financiën en maatschappelijke positie. Interessant zijn de onderdelen die betrekking hebben op de werkrelatie met hun vorstelijke werkgevers alsmede hun internationale contacten. Zo krijgt de lezer een gedetailleerde kijk op de monumentale aanleg van de tuinen van de nu verdwenen paleizen Honselersdijk en Huis ter Nieuburg maar ook van die van Huis ten Bosch, Het Loo en Soestdijk. Interessant hierbij is de grote rol van de hoveniers, hun families en nazaten in het tuinontwerp, ontwikkeling en onderhoud.'  

Op 11 juni 2022 werd de tweejaarlijkse NEDERLANDSTALIGE LITERAIRE RENE PECHERE PRIJS 2021 togekend aan Hoveniers van Oranje. Het persbericht is te vinden onder het tablad 'downloads'. Daarin staat ondermeer dat de studie 'wereldwijd navolging verdient voor alle tijdvakken'.

Perfect size, good privacy
Size: 4 Panel-88‘’Wide, Color: Black
This is a good divider. The dark, thick panels provide blockage from the light. Assembly was not very hard, but it wasn't simple. I ordered this product two times in the past couple of weeks. The first time I assembled it, I noticed that the picture assembly directions aren't completely accurate. The labeled parts don't match the labels on the instructions. The wrench included in my box is too big for any of the bolts or screws used for assembly. After getting the right tools and matching against the instructions, I finally got it assembled. The divider I ordered this week is missing two wheels and there is no number for calling the supplier; thus, I seem forced to return it, instead of easily getting the two wheels. Once assembled, I am pleased with the end product and I consider it a good value.

Works For Desired Use
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-136‘’W-Round Pad
I recently purchased the Room Divider 6FT Folding Privacy Screens, 4 Panel Partition Room Dividers, and I must say, it has transformed the way I use my living space. The four-panel design is both elegant and functional, providing instant privacy without feeling bulky or overwhelming in my room. Setting it up was a breeze; the folding mechanism is smooth, allowing me to adjust the configuration as needed—straight, angled, or zigzag. I particularly appreciate the sturdy build; the panels feel solid yet lightweight, making it easy to move around when I want to reconfigure my space. Aesthetically, it’s a great addition. The neutral finish blends well with my décor, and the simple design doesn’t draw too much attention while still offering a sense of separation. It’s perfect for creating a temporary office corner, dividing a studio apartment, or even using it as a backdrop for online meetings. If I had to point out a minor downside, it would be that the divider isn’t completely soundproof—so conversations can still carry through—but for visual privacy and space management, it’s excellent. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied and would recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and stylish room divider.

True to size & Use a Drill
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad, Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad
Love this! Works perfectly for where I wanted it. I did measure my room incorrectly and thought it would be smaller, thankfully it’s not and thankfully it’s not bigger than the room itself. I did like how the whole thing was move-able but it was a bit annoying so I just added extra clips to the left of the middle one and unscrewed the right of the middle at the bottom so it opens like a door, this did make it a bit flimsy but duck taping it to the wall as anchor it works. 100% recommend, but do suggest a drill and a second set of hands to put it together, due to its size it can be a bit difficult to maneuver putting together yourself. Also if you have a clingy cat like I do, and think this will help keep them out, no, my cat who is very large can manage to squeeze underneath it.

waste of money
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-136‘’W-Round Pad
This is a total waste of money. Its only going to free stand if you arent moving it. If you are planning on dividing a room, and then folding these for space and then dividing the room again, itll last a few days. The poles kept coming off of the screws that holds the fabric on the poles together. Was fixing this EVERY DAY. Finally got tired of doing this and just threw it out. Lot of money spent on garbage. Get a sheet room divider, or something that isnt cheaply made. Was simply making an office type space in a bedroom, to seperate the two areas for work, and folding it kept making the poles come off those twisted screws. just not worth it.
