A garden is a planned space, usually outdoors, set aside for the display, cultivation, and enjoyment of plants and other forms of nature.

The garden opened to the public in 1950 and received 200,000 visitors in its first year. [13] It operates under a charitable foundation of Count Carel De Gaaf van Lynden.
