What you need to know
On a hot afternoon when another shop feels dull, or on a first date that benefits from walking and talking, the garden slows the pace naturally.
Founded in 1638, Hortus includes a protected Palm House designed in 1911 by Johan Melchior van der Mey and a roughly 350-year-old Encephalartos altensteinii; tropical, desert and orchid houses make climate differences walkable.
On a return visit, attention can shift from the greenhouses to the seasonal garden, where wet leaves, bark and water change the walking rhythm after rain. Plant displays and open areas vary by season.
