The Garden Committee is a mix of NIOO employees helping - in advising - with the maintenance and the development of the NIOO Garden, both at the back and in front of the building. Chair of the Garden Committee is Gerard Korthals and he regularly talks and consults with Wim Verdonk (responsible for the garden) and the gardener Eke Hengeveld. The rest of the committee helps in advice from their different fields of expertise: Roos Keijzer; Ellen van Donk; Henk van der Jeugd; Louise Vet; Kamiel Spoelstra; Marianne van der Heijden; Jeff Harvey; Liesbeth Bakker; Louis Vernooij.
