Trompenburg — a living collection in Rotterdam
An early landscape garden is the starting point for a collection that has grown across several connected plots. Trees, water and glasshouses give the walk a changing rhythm.
Trompenburg’s history traces the garden from a country estate to a public botanical collection. The operator identifies the forest garden De Overtuin and the desert greenhouse as parts of today’s visit. The greenhouse photograph shows the narrow path along its exterior, beside the timber building.
We would read the garden through these shifts in enclosure. Follow the paths from the older landscaped grounds into more specialised areas and notice how each section gives the plants a different setting.
