The Botanic garden Zuidas

The Botanic Garden Zuidas, located at Van der Boechorststraat 8 in Amsterdam South, is home to a very rich plant collection with over 6.000 species. The small and charming garden provides a natural, quiet and inspiring environment in the heart of Amsterdam’s busy university, hospital and business area.

Visit the garden and enjoy the Chinese miniature landscape garden (the Penjing Garden), the Bonsai display and many types of bamboo. You will also find an extensive collection of Australian trees and shrubs in the botanic garden.
The garden has a greenhouse complex with various climates and a greenhouse with the largest collection of cacti and succulents in the Netherlands. Some of these plants are well over 100 years old.
There are approximately 40 large trees in the garden, ornamental cherry and other fruit trees, the well-known handkerchief tree (Davidia involucrata), and a ginkgo biloba. There is also an extensive collection of epiphytic orchids and bromeliads.
Some of these seeds are for sale in the garden’s shop. The Botanic Garden is member of the national plant collection, an umbrella organization for all 18 botanical gardens in The Netherlands.

The staff of the Botanic Garden is supported by a large group of volunteers. A group of generous donors provide additional financial support to the garden.

Patients, staff and visitors of the hospital are often found enjoying the beautiful colours and sweet aromas of the garden. Students, residents and people working in the Zuidas area enjoy their lunch at the garden or the tranquillity, away from their busy desk.
