From mulberry to giant sequoia

Since June 2020, ARTIS has officially been a botanical garden. ARTIS has received this designation because of the special tree collection and the educational stories and activities surrounding the entire fauna in the park. The status is a recognition of the green heritage of ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo. ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo is home to more than 700 trees of more than 200 different species, which have the status of Arboretum. But shrubs, annual and perennial plants, thousands of flower bulbs and even houseplants can also be found in the park.
