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.
Dopo l'epidemia dipeste, le autorità cittadine di Amsterdam fondarono nel 1638 l'Hortus Medicus, un giardino di erbe medicinali. I medici e i farmacisti imparavano qui la preparazione di erbe. A quel tempo le erbe rappresentavano la fonte principale di medicine. La proggettazione atuale del giardino risale al 1863.

From www.hortusleiden.nl :
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.
Inspired by my photos from a visit to the Horticus Botanicus, Amsterdam. A mono print collaged onto a gelli print.
At Amsterdam's botanical gardens. A pleasing mix of 'Amsterdam School' & traditional victorian iron work. Built in 1912, some 274 years after the gardens were founded, after a design by Dutch architect Johan Melchior van der Mey (1878-1949).
I thought I'd read somewhere that the decision to finance & build the palm house was a sweetener for the garden's curator at the time to encourage him to stay put in Amsterdam but I can't now find my reference for this so perhaps it was all a dream.
Jolly fine building in any event.
