The Botanical Garden, established here in 1682 (having been founded in 1638 in another location as an apothecaries' garden), is a medley of color and scent, with some 250,000 flowers and 115,000 plants and trees from 8,000 different varieties. It owes its origins to the treasure trove of tropical plants the Dutch found in their exotic colonies, and its contemporary popularity to the Dutch love affair with flowers. Highlights include are the Semicircle, which reconstructs part of the original 1682 design; the Mexico-California Desert House; the Palm House, home to one of the world's oldest palm trees; and the Tri-Climate House, which displays tropical, subtropical, and desert plants.

A green treasure hidden in the historical centre of Leiden. Founded in 1590, this is the oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands and one of the oldest in the world.
The Hortus Botanicus Leiden, nestled in the heart of the city, is a historical gem and a tranquil retreat. Established in 1590, it holds the distinction of being the oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands, with a rich collection that has grown over four centuries. Visitors can explore the Orangery from 1744, tropical greenhouses from 1938, and a winter garden from 2000, each offering a unique glimpse into the plant kingdom. The garden's commitment to education and conservation is evident through its diverse flora, including exotic species and historical plants like the old Tuliptree from 1716 and the Ginkgo from 1785. It's a place where nature's beauty is preserved and celebrated, providing a serene escape from the bustling city life.
See? What will happen next? Are they going to turn into a soup out of which will emerge one enormous moth?
