Thanks for all the photos of this place. Some of the images are quite beautiful, especially of the restaurant hallway area.

Indeed the hanging gardens are beautiful! As is the rest of the Orchideeënhoeve. It's the largest "butterfly garden" of the Netherlands, although its really surpassed that status by now. You can visit it in about an hour in theory, but I spent all day here for the photo report (and because its gorgeous).

It's located Central/North in the Netherlands, and I do recommend a visit. Especially in October, when the rare Widowbird is in breeding plumage!
