Coby and Anton

Mrs. Coby de Vries, laughing, follows Anton Buffing as he enters the garden with pruning shears. "Clean up those dead branches, eh?" While Anton is pruning the hydrangea, Coby (82) tells how she got her gardener. "The magazine of the elderly association contained information about Amstelveenvoorelkaar.nl, a website where you can go if you have a request for help or if you want to do volunteer work.

And my children don't really live around the corner. So I'm very happy with Anthony's help."
