In our adoption program, you can support the Hortus in your own way. The Hortus is an independent foundation. As one of the highlights of Amsterdam , the Hortus receives support from the municipality of Amsterdam. In addition, the Hortus depends on its own income from activities and donor donations. For this we have developed an adoption program.
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.

The Hortus collection contains a large number of (sub)tropical container plants. In the summer they are exhibited throughout the garden. In winter they have to stay inside. These plants and trees ask for sturdy containers. For years, the typical Hortus containers are provided by Jac Blom. Recently, this company started making containers out of Accoya® wood. The Hortus strives to replace all present containers with these Accoya® versions. You can help the Hortus reach this goal!
Accoya® is modified timber in which a process called acetylation, a cutting-edge patented technology, enables it to it resist rot, defy the elements and stay strong for decades. With the adoption of a containerplant in the Hortus, you not only invest in the maintenance of the Hortus collection, you also invest in nature, sustainability and the environment around us.
You can adopt a container from € 500, – per year for a minimum period of three years.
After adopting one of our containers, 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 ont the container you’ve adopted.
