Hortus by night – approute

19 December - 3 January

Dit evenement is afgelopen.

Learn more about the way nature reacts to the dark and cold winter evenings with the Night & Winter app route.

In winter, the sun sets earlier. Plants also notice this difference in daylight; some plants go into hibernation and other ‘night bloomers’ open their flowers at nightfall. And how do plants cope with the cold temperatures during the winter months? Can they (like birds) emigrate to a warmer place, if they are not used to the cold Dutch winter?

During Hortus by Night you will discover these stories in the Hortus app, which you can download for free on your smartphone or tablet. Walk through the garden at your own pace and look for all the highlighted plants and trees.

Download the app

The Hortus app can be downloaded free of charge via the Apple app store or Google play.
The specially developed ‘by Night’ routes will be available in the app from 19 December 2020.
