Cantonspark, Botanical park in Baarn, Netherlands
The Cantonspark extends over 3.5 hectares and contains a large greenhouse called Wintertuin, along with a colonnade, stone waterfall, and ornamental bridges.
August Janssen, who gained wealth in Indonesia, established the park in 1914 and constructed the Wintertuin greenhouse in 1915 to display tropical plants.
The Utrecht University transformed the garden into a research facility with systematic gardens and a pinetum for studying botanical specimens between 1918 and 1987.
The park maintains multiple entrances on Faas Eliaslaan and Abel Tasmanlaan, with paths connecting various botanical sections and architectural elements throughout the grounds.
The Wintertuin greenhouse measures 41 by 25 meters and reaches a height of 13 meters, featuring sunken side wings that house diverse tropical plant collections.
