Workshops

Participate in one of our workshops focusing on plants and plant products. You can, for example, learn how to paint, make botanical drawings or photograph plants, but also learn how to repot plants the proper way, or learn all about Chinese tea.  

Botanic drawings

Learn the basics of botanical drawing from a pro, Anita Walsmit Sachs, who worked as a botanical illustrator at the former National Herbarium Netherlands, part of the University of Leiden. She still organizes and participates in national and international exhibitions and gives botanical workshops and lectures in various Dutch museums and botanic gardens.

Register now for 24 and 25 June 2022. For more information click here.

Painting in the Hortus Botanicus

Do you want to learn how to look and paint? Are you struggling with composition, colour and mixing paint? Is a full course a bit too much for you? Gonny Stuut gives monthly painting workshops in the Hortus Botanicus.

Microscopy

In the two-hour workshops by Rob van Es you will discover the beautiful world of plants through a microscope. Delicately cut slices of plant material are processed with dyes and alcohol so that the various functions of the cells are rich in contrast and clearly visible.

Check our agenda for upcoming workshops.
