Around twenty permanent garden workers and around thirty volunteer employees work in the Arboretum Kalmthout.

In order to maintain this 125 hectare domain, the permanent gardeners in particular are working daily. The volunteers collect seeds or keep the borders weed-free. I myself take care of the bonsai collection, which can be viewed in the Bonsai garden all year round.

Recently, another hectare of garden was purchased. This new addition is in full development and will be opened to the public in the course of 2023.

Every year, students and trainees from home and abroad are recruited to assist the garden team.

This is necessary to care for the more than seven thousand different plants from all parts of the world.
