The botanical garden in Amsterdam was established in the 17th century and today is still a nice, green and relaxing place to spend some time; the garden is situated in an area with small parks and 18th century houses. The new-built greenhouse has a complex architecture; it was build after a heavy storm destroyed the old greenhouse. The modern greenhouse has a hanging roof. A bridge has been constructed to walk high above the ground. One can have a splendid view over the ‘cold climate’-section. In the new greenhouse many little water streams give together a humid atmosphere, necessary for the plants. There is even a desert-section in the new greenhouse of the botanical garden.
