Hortus Botanicus Haren-Groningen

Volunteers

The commitment of volunteers is very important for the maintenance

In 2002, the University of Groningen established the Foundation for the Preservation of the Green Hortus, which aims to maintain the Hortus Haren. The commitment of volunteers is very important to the maintenance of the Hortus. The Hortus can only grow and flourish with the help of volunteers. New volunteers are most welcome!

The Hortus receives no funding from government agencies. The sources of revenue are admission fees, hospitality, parties and events. And the Hortus is sponsored by the Friends Association to fund a variety of projects, such as the renovation of the wild plant garden, the Laarman Garden, which was recently included in the National Plant Collection. The efforts of the more than one hundred volunteers are therefore crucial to the Hortus’ continued existence.
