Hortus Botanicus Hakkında

Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world, established in 1638. Originally founded as a medicinal herb garden for doctors and apothecaries, it has evolved into a significant scientific and cultural institution. The garden occupies a compact site in the Plantage district, east of Amsterdam's historic centre. It serves dual purposes of conservation and public education, maintaining extensive living collections. The garden is affiliated with the University of Amsterdam and participates in international plant conservation networks. Its historical significance includes contributions to botanical science during the Dutch Golden Age and beyond.
