The asparagus tunnel is currently home to our exhibition The Earth – Soil of Our Lives! This exhibition is about the North Limburg soil and its use in the present, past and future. When entering the asparagus tunnel, visitors feel the sand under their feet. Two North Limburg agricultural family businesses show with a photo exhibition how the farmers of the past and the farmers of today work.

The exhibition also addresses soil use in organic farming, circular agriculture and the green revolution. Soil samples from the sixteen parishes of the municipality of Horst aan de Maas show the diversity of the regional soil and visitors can feel the difference between sandy and clay soils. The last few metres of the asparagus tunnel are about contemporary innovations in soil use.
