De Kruidhof: a garden with many different chapters

Botanische Tuin De Kruidhof in Buitenpost presents themed gardens and plant collections. The layout helps you find your way: you do not need to recognise every species to discover differences in form, habitat and use.

Herbs as a collection

The garden describes a collection of medicinal herbs. Look at it as a botanical and cultural-historical subject, paying attention to the information about the plants. A museum label is not an invitation to use plants as a treatment yourself or to taste them.

From theme to theme

The different gardens let you plan your walk according to your interests and the season. Leaves, stems and the structure of a border also deserve attention when not everything is in flower. Take time over the transition between two parts of the garden.

Out and about with children

The organisation mentions a natural playground and a trail with the mascot Hotse. According to the visitor information, the IJstijdenmuseum in the main building is covered by the same admission ticket. Check which parts are available that day before you settle on your route.

Before you go

The garden is seasonal. Reserve mobility aids on loan; a route along wider paths is available for wheelchair users.
