Eigen Huis & Tuin (own home and garden) is a Dutch television program about do it yourself related topics. It started in 1990 and is broadcast on Saturday evenings on RTL 4. It has about half a million viewers weekly.
In 1990 RTL 4 started the program Eigen Huis (own home). The show focussed on do-it-yourself work inside and outside the house. The program was presented by Nico Zwinkels and Manon Thomas. Handyman Nico Zwinkels showed how to do DIY work.
At the same time, gardener Rob Verlinden, together with Anniko van Santen (1992/1993) and later Manon Thomas (1993), presented the program Flora Magazine on RTL 4. Gardener Rob Verlinden showed how to create a garden and gave advice on plants and flowers.
From the 1993–1994 season the two programs were combined under the name Eigen Huis & Tuin. A typical show starts with a female presenter visiting the men, who are working, and asks them what they are doing. She then helps with small things. First to take up this role was Manuëla Kemp. Manuëla left after one year to the Katholieke Radio Omroep and was replaced by Myrna Goossen. Myrna left after one season to be host of her own show, the 5 uur show and her place was taken by Marceline Schopman (1995–1996). Marceline switched to Kindernet and in her place came Irene Moors who presented the program for two years. In season 1998/1999 Irene went on pregnancy leave and Minoesch Jorissen took over the program for one year. However Minoesch was too busy with the program RTL Live. To replace her Myrna Goossen was taken away from SBS 6 and presented the program for the next five years (1999–2004).
In 2004 the existing setup ended when gardener Verlinden and handyman Zwinkels left for SBS 6. However, because of a sex case against the handyman there was never a program on SBS 6. Myrna Goossen also left to focus on he program Aperitivo. Rob Verlinden was later in the SBS 6 program De Tuinruimers (the gardencleaners), which later became Robs Grote Tuinverbouwing (Rob's large garden rebuild).
