Welcome
De oudste bomen van Arboretum Kalmthout werden meer dan 150 jaar geleden aangeplant door Charles Van Geert. Zijn kwekerij groeide uit tot een prachtige bomentuin. Vele zeldzame houtige gewassen werden bijgeplant door Van Geert's opvolgers, Antoine Kort en Robert en Jelena de Belder.
Arboretum Kalmthout
A dream of a garden
The power of Arboretum Kalmthout lies in the individuality with which the scientific plant collection merges in with the garden architecture. The many special plants grow in beautiful arrangements. The unusual combinations of rich-blooming trees and shrubs submerge the garden in a sea of colours all year round. In between, meandering, fresh grass paths invite visitors to inspiring walks in the twelve hectare garden. The landscaping results in a surprisingly natural and harmonic atmosphere.
