Trompenburg is Rotterdam’s green museum with a world-wide living collection consisting of thousands of different plants and trees and 3 centuries of plant and garden history. The botanical gardens are a municipal monument with an internationally renowned living collection; nowhere in Europe, for example, are there so many different species of oaks.
Trompenburg shares its expertise and serves as an example in the qualitative, sustainable and climate-proof greening of urban nature. In doing so, the garden is a green gene bank for growers with relevant knowledge and expertise about a livable city in times of climate warming, biodiversity loss and urban heat;
