Pinetum Ter Borgh

Pinetum Ter Borgh is a pine forest garden in Anloo that holds more than 400 different conifer species arranged along winding pathways. A small decorative pond sits within the grounds, and the trees are organized throughout the site in a systematic collection.

The woodland was first planted between 1922 and 1930, with the Everts family developing the specialized conifer collection starting in 1953. This mid-20th-century project created what became the garden's core collection.

The grounds hold a prehistoric burial monument called Hunebed D11 nearby, connecting visitors to the region's ancient past. This historical site sits alongside the garden paths, creating a space where visitors encounter both history and the planted landscape together.

Access is through the parking area on Anderenseweg, where marked trails guide you through the collection. The paths are clearly marked, making it easy to explore without additional navigation aids.

Each tree in the collection displays a label with its scientific name, Dutch name, and country of origin. This detailed marking allows visitors to learn about the botanical differences between species as they walk.
