IN HOLLAND AND ABROAD
On this page
Rock-gardens in Holland and abroad, You find several photographs and
information about rock-gardens. Also of private rock- gardens.
“DE UITHOF” at Utrecht
I believe this is one
of the most beautifull rock gardens in
the Netherlands.
There is also a Site of this
rock-garden – www.botanischetuinen.uu.nl
In June 1999 we were in Gran
Paradiso in Italy. We saw there many
rockplants, it was marvellous.
You can go there for wonderfull walks, with different distances.
Most walks start at the end
of a cleft. Mostly there is a
parking-place.
The rock garden is situated
in the National Park “Gran Paradiso” You drive from the village Aosta in the
direction of Cogne.
Another nice rock garden in the Aosta in the north of Italy, is in
Courmayeur.
You go with the cableway to
the Mont Blanc,but you have to go out
on the first stopping place.
The cableway goes to
Chamonix in France
The rockgarden in not so
large, but the view of the surroundings is very nice..
In Geneva is a rockgarden too. When we
were there in 1994, the entrance was free.
Many people where sitting on
the grass, naer the most beautiful orchids and other beautiful plants.
There was also a nice
glass-house.
And not so far
from this garden, there is the Red
Cross Museum, It is a little walk to this museum and it is worth the
pain.
Berlin has a nice rockgarden. It is
situated in the “ Botanische Garten”
There is a nice glass-house with carnivorous plants.
The S-bahn is in the
neighbourhoud of te rock garden.

In June 2001 we were in Italy
in the ”Parco Nazionale
d’Abruzzo”.
We booked our hotel by
internet,the hotel is in the village
Pescasserolli in the middle of the
National Park “Abruzzo”.
In Pescasseroli there is a
museum and a zoo, with the animals who lives in d’Abruzzo, such as the brown bear, the linx and wolfs.
There is also a little rock
garden with the plants from the mountains of the National Park, the rockgarden was a little disappointed.
This is the little rockgarden
in Pescasserolli.
This is
“Albergo PARADISO”.
For walkers in the mountains this hotel is perfect situated.
It is possible to start
your nice walkings from this hotel.

In the
glass-house you can sell some plants, and we bought several carnivorous plants.
