Guided through the garden
During this tour, you can wander away from the paths. This may be the first time you really get to know the Botanical Garden! We will amaze you with trees and plants of all sizes and ages, beautiful and strange pollination stories and striking scents. A tour of the Botanical Garden will open up the whole world: you will travel from one continent to another, from the Japanese cherry tree to the Umbellaria californica.
Duration: 90 minutes
Participants: 15
Price: €85,-
Flora in art
During this tour, you will find out how artists have been inspired by plants over the centuries. You will discover the plants and flowers in the garden that can be found in works of art. They are not always depicted very faithfully. Sometimes they are loaded with symbolism or have a very personal meaning. We will flit from Matisse and Van Eyck to the lesser-known Osias Beert and the acanthus leaves of the Corinthian columns.
