A botanical garden, a.k.a. Hortus Botanicus, is always on my to-go list for holidays.

The Hortus Botanicus of Leiden, founded in 1590, making it the oldest botanical garden of the Netherlands. It has a large collection of plants native to South-east and East Asia, Southern Europe and South Africa. People study here, meet up here, get their wedding pictures here.

Freckle can't decide between writing fact or fiction, so she does both, on a very regular basis, and sometimes even for money.

Oh my gosh! Gorgeous!

I love Leiden! Also a big fan of the forensic museum (the Boerhaave) with the anatomical theatre replica and wooden heads. I love that shit.

I’m such a sucker for Botanic Gardens. Lovely. (The one in Copenhagen is so beautiful. Somebody go there and take a picture!)

I volunteer!
