The Hortus botanicus Leiden was founded by Leiden University in 1590, on the site of the current Front Garden. The first planting dates from 1594. The Hortus was continuously expanded in the course of the following centuries and the planting has undergone many changes, but many of the trees that were planted during the past 400 years can still be admired today.
