De Tuinen van Stene are located in a historic polder landscape that lies hidden between the polder village of Stene, the open Snaaskerkepolder and 20th century residential areas of Ostend. The Gardens are a green oasis of 35 hectares and an example of a 21st century food, landscape and agricultural park.
De Tuinen van Stene consist of four parts: a bio-poll garden, a water meadow landscape (with the Hendriksgeleed watercourse), a field landscape (a zone for innovative developments in urban agriculture) and a food platform where vegetables grown on site can be offered for distribution.
