Care for green - adopt a tree

1250,-

As a company, you can adopt a tree at the Hortus to support us in maintaining and looking after our plant collection. Our Tree Adoption Program offers a great opportunity to show your corporate social responsibility.

The Hortus’s garden and greenhouses hold around 4,000 different plant species from all over the world.  A lot of our plants have their own, unique background story. We will surely find you plant species that beautifully fits your product, company name or even philosophy. We are happy to help you with the selection of the tree or plant. Already have a specific tree species in mind? Check our garden explorer to see if it can be found in our garden.

After adopting one of our trees at the Hortus, you will receive a certificate to put on display at your company’s office. In addition, we will put up a sign with your company’s name and / or logo next to the plant you’ve adopted.

You will receive a Company Year Card to visit the tree with your employees and / or business relations. This card also grants you a 10 percent discount when booking our Oranjerie venue.

Care for a spot - adopt a bench

Honour a family member, a loved one, a friendship or an event by adopting a bench at our garden. There are several existing benches available to choose from. When you adopt one, a beautiful plaque recognizing your generous donation will be installed at your bench.

Adopting a bench costs €1000,- euro for a period of three years.

Care for education - adopt a school visit

600,-

Education is one of the main tasks of the Hortus. We offer different educational programs for primary and secondary education. The Hortus believes that every child should have access to nature education and with that grow awareness of the importance of biodiversity for the world.

Unfortunately, not every school in Amsterdam has the resources  to visit our garden.  (Too) often we receive messages from disappointed schools and teachers, that  tell us they do not have the resources to finance or to organize a visit. Therefore, we now offer  the possibility to adopt a full school visit. With this program we hope to provide all schools the opportunity to incorporate a visit to the Hortus in their school curriculum.

For €600, – you can adopt a school visit to the Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam and contribute to our educational program.

The class will get:

  • Transport to and from the school and the Hortus.
  • Access (for students and supervisors) to the garden.
  • Assistance during the visit in the Hortus.
  • Materials for use in the Hortus and in the classroom.
