Activities specially for Friends

For our Friends, we organise a number of exclusive activities every year. You can see below what's planned for 2026. Not a Friend yet? Then become a Friend today and contribute to important projects on nature education and biodiversity in the Botanic Gardens.

I become a Friend

Sunday 17 May 2026
Friends' afternoon (FULL)

During the annual Friends’ Afternoon on May 17, 2026, you’ll have the chance to take one last look inside the Tropical Greenhouses as they currently stand. Gerard van Buiten will give a talk on the history of the Greenhouses and explain how the relocation of the plants to the temporary location went. Friends have received an invitation by email, and advance registration is required. We reached the maximum of 60 participants, so application is not possible anymore. Please send an email to vrienden.botanischetuinen@uu.nl if you have any questions. The program runs from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM.
