De inzegening van de vereenigingsvlag 'Ons Buiten'

Summary

Reportage about the dedication of the flag for the 'Ons Buiten' Association.

The dedication of the association’s flag for the ‘Ons Buiten’ garden park, in Amsterdam-West, conducted in the presence of the ‘spirited’ board and the Excelsior musical association. Originally, garden allotments were intended to maintain the food supply in times of economic recession. The municipality made land available to workers and citizens so that they could grow vegetables themselves. But in periods of economic prosperity, the allotments took on more of a recreational function, and gazebos were built.
