 The first is the Groene Bananeschilsteel, a piece of abandoned land next to the railroad which is now his very own garden. Stefaan and his family re-use plants as building materials for their treehouse, fences, bicycle shed and stairs. They harvest wood in the neighbourhood and re-use in in the garden. It's a balanced ecological system and they work there about 10 hours per year. The rest of the time they enjoy it. The first is the Groene Bananeschilsteel, a piece of abandoned land next to the railroad which is now his very own garden.

 +Stefaan's second project is his workplace, the cemetery at Palinghuizen 143.  
 + 
 +Stefaan and his team re-use almost all garden waste in the park itself, including the leaves for mulching and dead branches for hedges, and he lets nature fill in the blanks. The cemetery is a 5 hectare park with a lot of biodiversity. 
 + 
 +One really interesting feature is the beehive Stefaan has created out of a dead tree trunk. There are holes drilled in the trunk to create a home for solitary bees (non-honey making bees who live their lives alone). This is a great example of re-using vegetation for animal habitats.
