Oude Hortus, Botanical garden in Utrecht, Netherlands.

The Oude Hortus contains multiple sections including a cottage garden and a medicinal garden called Regiustuin with numerous plant varieties and greenhouses.

Founded in 1639 at Sonnenborgh, the garden moved to Nieuwgracht in 1723 to provide more space for teaching medical students about plant properties.

The garden maintains strong educational connections through the University Museum, offering visitors insights into botanical sciences and plant diversity.

Entry tickets cost 5 euros for the garden alone, while combined tickets with the University Museum are 14 euros for adults and 7 euros for children.

The garden features one of the Netherlands' oldest Ginkgo biloba trees, which has grown there for over 250 years.
