Climate House

An eye-catcher in our garden, and from the streets. In 2025, this greenhouse was fully renovated into a sustainable,CO₂-neutral public greenhouse. Its interior tells the story of biodiversity and climate. In three distinct climate zones, we show how climate affects the diversity of life: why a cactus looks so different from a tropical palm.

Take a walk through the jungle, the desert, and the South African landscape. The three zones in the greenhouse are dramatically different. By experiencing them side by side, it becomes clear that each climate has unique characteristics that shape the development of the plants living there. This also illustrates how climate change has a profound impact on plant species and biodiversity.

De Hortus van morgen
For this renovation, the greenhouse was closed for an entire year. In collaboration with many partners, we built the first sustainable public greenhouse that tells the story of plant kingdom, biodiversity, and climate.
Using a unique combination of living collections, innovative technology, and multimedia exhibitions.
