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'.

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!

Comfortable and stays cool
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 1)
Great pillow. When i opened it, i noticed a strange smell, i assumed its the smell of whatever they use to make the pillow stay cool. You have to fluff it for a good amount of time to make sure the cooling agent spreads well in the foam. Is what i assumed atleast. Its a perfect amount of softness for me. Pair it with some bamboo pillow cases and you got a good night of sleep

Comfortable and Supportive, but Adjust the Filling
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I’m very happy with this pillow. The size is big and it feels soft while still providing good support, perfect for midnight scrolling on TikTok. One thing to keep in mind is that it can feel a little too tall if you use all of the filling that comes with it. The good news is that you can easily adjust the amount of filling to find the height that works best for your sleeping position. Once I customized it, it was much more comfortable. Overall, great quality, comfortable, and worth the purchase.

BEST PILLOWS EVER!!!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I am very picky with my pillows because I have a bad neck and I can never seem to find a good pillow. But I tried this pillow because it had everything I was looking for and the price was great! You get two of them and they are absolutely awesome.! normally I would need to lay on two pillows to try and get comfortable but with these pillows I just lay on one and I wake up with no neck pain. They really have a nice cooling effect. They actually puff up immediately after opening them. All you have to do is just shake them up and the pillow just puffs straight up.. It comes with extra cushioning if you want it to make it firmer and if you don’t want it as firm as it is, you can actually take some out. It really is such a beautiful pillow. It’s perfect in every way to me being such a picky pillow person. You just lay your head down on it and it forms around your neck and your head and when you get up, it goes right back to its normal form. It doesn’t get flat and I love it. I completely recommend this to anyone who is a person who has a hard time finding a really good pillow.
