Historische Tuin Aalsmeer and its collection

Historische Tuin Aalsmeer
Source

The Historische Tuin Aalsmeer is a botanical garden. In the garden, the visitor goes on a journey into the past, starting in 1940 and then further back in time to the beginning of the 17th century when mainly fruit trees were grown. Among other things, the garden features a monumental farmhouse, two greenhouses with roses and old boats on which crops were transported. The flowers and plants are placed alongside the 450 meter long garden path.

    The Historische Tuin Aalsmeer, located in Aalsmeer, the Netherlands, offers visitors a glimpse into the horticultural history of the region. This open-air museum showcases traditional Dutch gardening techniques and the flower auction industry that has been crucial to Aalsmeer's economy.

    Visitors appreciate the well-maintained gardens and greenhouses, which display a variety of plants and flowers typical of the area. The museum provides insights into the evolution of horticultural practices, from historical methods to more modern approaches.
