The Climate House is open again after a year of renovation! Immerse yourself in the adventurous jungle; walk through the serene desert and discover the unique Cape flora in our Cape greenhouse.

It has been a year of hard work for the Hortus, but we can proudly say that our new Climate House is now fully sustainable. It tells the story of biodiversity, climate change and, of course, the importance of plants for all life on earth.

We could not have realised this amazing project without the help of our donors, friends, visitors and everyone who loves the Hortus: thank you so much! We hope to welcome you soon.

A little disclaimer: remember that our jungle and Cape plants still need a bit of getting used to and growing. Please be patient with our plants – and be kind to them when you visit, for happy growing!

Oh, and make sure to check out our extensive summer programme!
