Belmonte Arboretum — labelled collections above the Nederrijn
The benches at the edge of Belmonte look out over the river, a change of scale after the close work of reading the plant labels.
Aus der Quelle
Belmonte Arboretum sits on the Wageningse Berg above the Nederrijn in the Netherlands. It combines a documented botanical collection, including rhododendrons and roses, with paths along the river-facing edge of the hill.
Redaktionelle Einordnung
The arboretum’s rhododendrons and members of the rose family are represented in the Dutch National Plant Collection. The online catalogue makes it possible to trace individual plants. Pairing a handful of labelled specimens with a walk along the river-facing edge brings together the garden’s two strongest features.
Empfehlung
Enter from Generaal Foulkesweg in Wageningen. Use the plant finder to pick a few specimens before the walk, then follow the paths towards the benches overlooking the Nederrijn. Consult the garden’s visitor information for current access.
