Hortus Haren is a botanical garden in Haren, Groningen, Netherlands. First created in 1626 by the pharmacist Henricus Munting, it was then situated between Grote Rozenstraat and Grote Kruisstraat in Groningen.[1] Because of space considerations it relocated to Haren in 1967 and became the largest botanical garden in the country.[2]
