About Weltevree’s Gardenworks — and the art of showing a little love every day. 

Reading time: 5 minutes

Designer Marcel Sloots puts it this way: "The power of a design lies in its simplicity: when functionality reflects the essence of the product, it creates a pure experience for the user." That simplicity is evident in the aluminum silhouette of the Gardenworks - sleek yet earthy, with a built-in drainage system that channels excess water away through two outlets while always leaving a thin layer of water for the plants to drink from. 

No waterlogged roots, no parched soil. Just well-cared-for plants, with minimal effort. But the real story of the Gardenworks isn't about the technology. It's about the ritual.

A little bit, every day

"I really enjoy being very mindful of the Gardenworks. Just giving it a little love."

It's that simple. No master plan, no landscape architecture - just stopping by every morning. Seeing what's changed. A lead turning yellow, a shoot bending toward the light. 

"You become much more aware of how things grow when you're tending to them every day."
That is exactly why the Gardenworks is right next to the door, and not at the back of the flower bed. What you see every day, you'll keep an eye on every day. And what you keep an eye on, you'll naturally come to care about.

Gardenworks by Marcel Sloots

Just let it fail for once

There's something liberating about the way people talk about Gardenworks. No strict instructions, no fear of failure. "Just let those herbs and vegetables bolt: let nature take its course."
"Just do it - at worst, it might fail." 
That's a different approach than what most vegetable gardening books teach you. No schedules, no perfectionism - just get started. 
"Just get your hands in the soil. Everything works." The basil that dries out, the lettuce that bolts too early; it's all part of the process. It's not about the perfect harvest, it's about the experience. "You'll check on it every time, anyway. You'll keep an eye on it. You'll be more mindful of it."
And when you water it: do it right. "Don't just wet the area around it. Water it properly - a full watering can." A small gesture, done with care - that's all it takes. 

Layered Greenery 

When filling the Gardenworks, it's a good idea to think in layers. Perennials form the foundation - once planted, they require little attention the following year.

They stay put, they keep growning, and they're low-maintenance. 

Herbs add a playful layer on top. Easy to harvest and ready to use - thought that depends on the variety. Some herbs also stay green in winter, adding character to the Gardenworks especially during the chilly months. This creates a small, living composition that evolves with the seasons - never quite finished, always in motion.

For those looking for more space: the Gardenworks Station

If you want to do more than just grow—if you also want to prepare your produce—the Gardenworks Station is the logical next step: the same planter, complemented by a countertop at the same practical height of 93 cm, with space for two crates underneath. Gardening and outdoor cooking literally become one seamless process here—from picking the herbs to chopping them, without having to take a single step. Whether you live on a city balcony, want to bring greenery into your home, or are tending a garden at a country house: both versions add something to the space where they stand. Not as decoration, but as an invitation. 

The Gardenworks invites you to savor small moments—picking vegetables for dinner, pausing for a moment to reflect on the changing seasons. Not because you have to, but because you can. Place it where you’ll see it every day. The rest will follow naturally.

The interplay of the actions of the user and the elegant design activates and refines the environment.
