Kruidhof-Hortus Buitenpost;a large herb garden between Leeuwarden-Groningen
The largest herb garden in the Netherlands is situated in the prosperous village of Buitenpost on the Leeuwarden-Groning railway line.During my visit in July the gardens were suffering from a dry spell in the weather;due to a lack of watering-irrigation the gardens were not at their very best.I could imagine that in May and early June there would be more lush growth and fresher flowers.I was fortunate to see a common redstart(gekraagde roodstaart)and other interesting birdlife.The gardens were started 1930 and offer a nursery and small geological museum(Ijstijdenmuseum Buitenpost)
