It’s almost time to celebrate love again during Valentine’s Day. If you want to do something fun, there are plenty of options in our Plantage neighborhood. Here are some suggestions:
Would you like to be in a tropical atmosphere? Then head to the beautiful botanical garden in the Hortus. Walk along the walkway in the amazing greenhouse and look at the tropical plants from above. Look at the two different types of buds of the star magnolia (𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘢): the larger ones grow into beautiful white flowers, the smaller ones turn into fresh green leaves. Or get butterflies in your stomach in the Butterfly Garden!
