Whilst in the American Book Center today, I was told about an interesting event which they will host very soon and may interest you too. There will be plants, cello music, raw food, the book author, photographer and no doubt lots of other people who love plants and beautiful urban gardens.

The VU Hortus Botanicus is a very interesting place which is open to the public, Mondays to Fridays 08:00 – 16:30. Entrance is free. It is on the way to Amstelveen from Amsterdam Zuid, very easy to get to and well worth a visit.
