The Utrecht Botanic Gardens were some of the oldest university gardens in the Netherlands, but after relocating in the early 1960s, the new Botanic Gardens were opened. What I particularly liked about this garden was how they integrated animal life within its confines; as well as being a proponent for biological control vs. pesticides for 20+ years! Enjoy the tour with the Head Gardener, Roel Vonk.

Guy is so sweet. I love his clear passion.

So weird, I used to live and study there and came by the Botanische Tuinen almost daily but never actually went because I wasn't really interested in plants back then. Now I really want to go back there and visit the gardens, such an amazing place!

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

you should definitely go back to visit!

@sarahmcfetridge1391 5 лет назад

made me tear up, I friggen adore when people get so excited about the plants that are surrounded by daily, its really something amazing. LOVED THIS

@mylivingthings6758 5 лет назад

This is the best garden tour by far, I probably sat there all day listening to his talk about plants. Wonderful! Good job...and more please lol

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

Will do. I'm glad it turned out. Two of our three cameras failed on this one, so the quality is a little lower than I had anticipated but we still got good stuff. And Roel is just so pleasant (and patient)!

@JoannaLouise200 3 года назад

What a fantastic tour! I think I'd like to live inside a botanic garden glasshouse :-) Those Thai partridges were so cute scratching around...so handy to catch the plant pests.

@Nhoj31neirbo47 5 лет назад

Very generous of Roel to take the time to share his wealth of knowledge. A good example of his excitement with working in the plant world was his anecdote about discovering in the field that the Clusia likes it’s feet wet. ~ The details of their long term use of biological pest controls was quite interesting. Poison Dart frogs , who knew! Years ago I worked in a commercial nursery. One of my jobs was spraying the greenhouses with nasty toxic chemicals that have long since been outlawed in the states. I had to avoid spraying some of the more sensitive plants, or they would be damaged. The nursery workers who lived on the site had to leave and stay in a hotel for the night , while the greenhouses vented! ~ Roel mentioned the Nagoya Protocol with regards to acquiring plants. I’m curious how it and other current regulations are effecting university and institutional research. While these types of national and international regulations are well intentioned and mostly beneficial, they inevitably have some unforeseen and sometimes surprising negative consequences.

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

I was SO appreciative of Roel's time, partially because we had so many camera difficulties on this video. We ended up shooting exclusively on iPhone and he was so very patient with us. I was also madly impressed with the biological control. Super super impressed with that. And in regards to the Nagoya Protocol-your intuition is correct; there has been much in the plant trade and in research that has been stymied because of it. You can't even take a cutting from the botanic gardens, like you can here in the states.

Miss SRO getting her viewers the all VIP access! I found myself shouting "don't do it Summer" during this episode. Years ago I had the very distinct pleasure of an in the wild meeting with Urera baccifera aka scratch bush in Central America. Wonderful episode despite the traumatic flashback! ;)

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

Next week we get the REAL VIP access-to the collections that the public doesn't get to see. And sorry for the PTSD with your scratch bush run-in! Oooof! :)

That guy is a plant Master!

@siarlbychan 5 лет назад

Bless his heart. Roel did a fantastic job in this video. English is my first language and Spanish is my second. I can only imagine or hope that I could have done as well a job as he did. I don't know if I could have without struggling through it. It's also wonderful that no matter where we go in the world, if we want to speak to another plant enthusiast or botanic garden we have the latin or scientific names to give us commonality.

@Drinkyoghurt 5 лет назад

Btw, if you're still in the Netherlands and in Utrecht, go visit Breukelen. It's where the name Brooklyn comes from. It's a small town with a nice atmosphere.

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

Thanks! I'll be back and consider it!

@Jamie025007 5 лет назад

my goodness summer!😳 I live 1 hour away from the Dutch border ... I've been to the Netherlands so many times and never knew there were so many great botanical gardens there. 😅Thank you for all the new places you show us and I can visit on the next vacation.🤩😍

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

So glad you are inspired to go visit them!

@Johanna-Rogier-Awad 5 лет назад

Wonderful, you were in my birth city. I wanted to visit the same Botanical Garden in Utrecht in July this year but did not have enough time. I had to go back to the States. Thank you very much for all your wonderful and interesting videos.

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

there will be more next week. Their private collection! So glad you're enjoying!

@sealife13 5 лет назад

I live in Utrecht I will go there next month

@55El5 5 лет назад

I'm so glad you went there! I've been to the botanical garden before and it's just so beautiful! I loved that they also keep butterflies in one of the greenhouses, it really adds to the feeling like you're in another world. Much love from the Netherlands!

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

Agreed. The animals and insects were all such a pleasant (and pleasing) surprise!

@user-ow7bi3se2b 5 лет назад

This place was WILD!! Seriously, loved it :)

@SomaraSon 5 лет назад

Your videos are a great way to share the importance of taking care of the planet, producing less waste, and eating more plant based - just from watching you for a few days I've felt more connected to my goals to become more intentional with my life/money/energy. And I want to become a plant lady haha. Hello from Prospect Park South :)

@sealevelreef7174 5 лет назад

Such a well-made video should be considered to be published as an educational DVD Awesome job! 👍

@AfrianiSinaga 5 лет назад

You perfectly said "Utrecht" at the end of the video haha.. I enjoyed watching your video and too bad that giant plant is dead. I saw him flourished last year when I came there and it was so pretty. Groutjes uit Nederlands.

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

Finally I get ONE word right in Dutch! My 3% Dutch is pulling through!

@barbll000 5 лет назад

Very interesting tour. It helps to hear that sometimes greenhouses struggle to grow certain plants.

@PleasantPrickles 5 лет назад

Good combinations with the partridges controlling the insects with other species. I would love to go there to check it out

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

Definitely do! It was phenomenal. And the addition of animals made it so pleasing!

@mysticshining 5 лет назад

@dyingbreedministry 5 лет назад

Bloody marvellous quality them iPhones 🏆 well done, God bless you miss

@urface151 5 лет назад

It’s so fascinating to learn how these botanical gardens kind of share and trade stocks of plants and I love that they don’t use chemical sprays

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

Me too. I was so pleased with biological control for 25+ years!! But I visit lots of gardens that do that, which is awesome.

@urface151 5 лет назад

Summer Rayne Oakes thanks for being such a great creator on RU-vid and I was wondering if you caught the name of that bulbous trunk-y ant plant with the tunnels I love plants with weird trunks like that

@annemiekewielinga7203 4 года назад

Lovely, i would always do my homework in the botanical gardens. Students get free admission

@adrianhidalgo869 5 лет назад

All those plants are my neighboards here en Venezuela ♥️

@francescopaoselli8420 5 лет назад

Hi Summer, is there any chance that you could do an episode on where and how you research for plant species?

@johnjhill3 5 лет назад

Those Cattleyas are, to me, the perfect shade of orange. One look would keep me happy all day long. Did you happen to get a cultivar name for that one?

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

I'll ask Roel for you!

@inzamamulhaqhaq6680 5 лет назад

Awesome vedio as usual which was the plant plant with pink flower and its asiatic plant

@koreyratering4662 5 лет назад

I know its kinda of subject of the video but, I was wondering if i can grow Elephant ear inside during the winter? Thanks, Korey

@missbotanique5389 5 лет назад

Watching and re-watching all your videos - this is bad for me, I should be working, not binge watching plant videos :))

@dyingbreedministry 5 лет назад

I hope you took a cutting of the coca 😉 you could buy a state of the art camera with film crew and private jet in no time....wahaaaaay 💪🏼

Tell your cameraman people are not here to look at the interviewed person face all the time. People are here to look at the plants ♥️🌱

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

I don't know if you saw my comment above to the other person, but we had such terrible camera mishaps on this one. Roel was so understanding, but what would have taken us 2 hours took us 6! Basically 2 of our 3 cameras failed, so we had to only use the iPhone. Sorry about that. But we usually have 2-3 camera angles, and this time only were working with 1. I wish I could have done more on this, but since I shoot these only on my budget and the generosity of my cameraman's time, I can't do much about camera's failing! Ooof!

@alessazoe 5 лет назад

Summer Rayne Oakes I read the comment first and then watched the video. Would have expected a way worse mix. I think it turned out fine, quite some plant and animal shots also during the interview parts. So don’t worry, everyone has a bad day with stuff like cameras failing some time!

@trisnaekowiyatnikawaii3860 5 лет назад

Kindly interested for the Cocaine leaves.. LOL

@aprilbattern8248 5 лет назад

What is that sound?

@summerrayneoakes 5 лет назад

Some of it was the frogs in the back

@aprilbattern8248 5 лет назад

Oh! That makes sense.

@bloodflower4141 5 лет назад

It's the frogs whistling 🐸

@zeraus.w.0512 5 лет назад

Nepenthes do not grow in Central and South America- at least in the wild.

@johngjerry1892 2 года назад

Growing in green house is easy most time they will do good / most my are in ground growing in backyard & I have all this trees already even more unusual than this garden!

@diegolol8523 5 лет назад

Yeet us

@kaikart123 3 года назад

Nepenthes is not a new world plant...

@carnigrower 5 лет назад

Great video, but that guy doesn't know where nepenthes come from! There is no nepenthes species that are from middle and South America, the whole genus are from borneo, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Thailand and so on, all are old world species.
