Hortus botanicus gardens
The Hortus Botanicus Leiden is the oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands. Established in 1590 and expanded in the centuries that followed, the Hortus is the green heart of Leiden. You'll find peace and inspiration at the Hortus. Researchers from around the world come to the botanical garden to study its renowned collection. Carolus Clusius cultivated Europe's first large tulip collections there, and Philipp Franz von Siebold introduced approximately 700 previously unknown plants from Japan and China. Today, this verdant treasure trove houses rare plants from Southeast and East Asia, Southern Europe, and South Africa, some of which are even nearly extinct in the wild.
