Poetry among the greenery on September 6 in Hortus Overzee

On Friday 6 September, Hortus Overzee in Den Helder will become the stage for poetry. During Poets in the Hortus Local and regional poets will perform in the atmospheric tropical greenhouse and the open air. A special evening full of language, nature, and connection.

Poetry in a green oasis

Let yourself be carried away by words while surrounded by exotic plants and rippling water. The combination of language and garden makes this evening extra intimate and inspiring.

Stories, poems and music

Besides poetry, there's often room for music or short stories. The evening features a varied program and offers a platform for established and emerging talent.

A rare setting for poetry lovers

This unique location turns every performance into an experience. Walk around, take a seat on a bench, or listen under a palm leaf; language doesn't get any closer to nature.
