Show sight on map

The Afrikaanderwijk Botanical Garden is a botanical garden in Rotterdam's Afrikaanderwijk. The botanical garden on Afrikaanderplein was founded in 1923 as part of the HBS Van Oldenbarnevelt. The garden was used as a practice space for biology lessons at the HBS and later the Van Oldenbarnevelt comprehensive school. Due to a lack of finances, this came to an end around 1975. After that, the garden fell into some disrepair. In the mid-80s, the garden was completely renovated and brought back to its original design. The garden is now a national monument.
