Met mijn collega run ik ViatriX, een advies- en trainingsbedrijf in communicatie &amp; marketing. Op mijn lijstje prijken ook certificaten in Cambridge B2 (Engels), natuureducatie, permacultuur en podcasten. Op het lesprogramma van de Volksuniversiteit Den Bosch kan je ook mijn cursus 'Engels voor beginners' tegenkomen. Ik heb daarnaast lezingen en een cursus 'Natuurtuinieren' ontwikkeld. Ik ben (actief) lid van Velt, IVN, Groei &amp; Bloei, RHS en andere groene organisaties. Je kunt me geregeld zien tuinieren, in mijn 500 m2 grote Bossche stadsoasis. In oude kleren gehuld, en gadegeslagen door onze kippen en katten.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/Discutafel"],"url":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/en\/author\/ivonne\/"}]}},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/220826-Milner-18-Ivonne-and-Douglas-fir-gespiegeld-900x450-1-600x400.jpg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/220826-Milner-18-Ivonne-and-Douglas-fir-gespiegeld-900x450-1-600x450.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Ivonne Smit","author_link":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/en\/author\/ivonne\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11274"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11274\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11302,"href":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11274\/revisions\/11302"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discutafel.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
