Hortus Botanicus Tour — Plant One On Me — Ep 075

Hortus Botanicus based in Amsterdam, Netherlands is steeped in history. It was established back in 1638 by the city municipality. Originally it was named the Hortus Medicus, which focused as a medicinal herb garden, as it was a response to the outbreak of the plague that was ravaging the area. Now, however, it serves as a respite for itinerant passersby and locals. Though I went in the dead of winter, the interiorscapes of the botanic gardens had much to see, including some drool-worthy cycads with their own stories to tell. Special thanks to Reinout for taking time out to give us a tour. And I do apologize for the audio. Some parts were quite noisy due to the greenhouse operations there. More information on the Hortus can be found here: http://www.dehortus.nl/ __ Homestead Brooklyn’s Plant One On Me is an informal question-and-answer series on all your green home and gardening tips as well as insider tours, interviews and travelogues.
