Hortus Botanicus
-
About 8,000 different species of plants, flowers and trees, an ornamental pond, rock and herb gardens, and numerous glasshouses are crammed into this small, wedge-shaped botanical garden. Most of the exotic plants were collected by the VOC in the 17th and 18th centuries. Highlights are a 300-year old Cycad palm, the three-climates glasshouse and a coffee plant, Europe’s first, smuggled out of Ethiopia in 1706.
