Hardinxveld/Giessendam
The willows were planted
in a spiral form. The resulting maze will grow together and form a spiral path
leading to a cast iron willow in its center. The Dutch word for a pollard willow
- especially the knoblike top - is "knot". Since the county museum next to this
island is called "De Koperen Knop" (the copper knob), Lucien den Arend named
this landscape project after it, changing the word knop to knot: de ijzeren
knot.
