Renovation of Hortus climate greenhouse progressing

Published on Monday, April 28News

It won’t be long now! Wow, April was an exciting month for the Hortus! The very first Cape plant was planted in the brand new Climate Greenhouse and the tropical plants returned. 

The return of the tropical collection – from their guest greenhouse in Belgium – was festively celebrated with a symbolic welcome party in the Hortus, accompanied by a real brass band. 

And on June 2nd, it’s party time for all visitors: because then the renovated, sustainable Climate Greenhouse will open to the public again!  We can’t wait to welcome our visitors back to this special place. Will you come by this summer? 

The Hortus Van Morgen website
regularly provides updates on the progress. Take a look inside the greenhouse with a timelapse video that is being kept! You can see how the landscape is taking shape; with the construction of the waterfall, the pipes, the ETFE roof and the first soil.
