Amsterdam has a whole neighbourhood dedicated to flowers and plants: the Jordaan district was named after the French word for garden, “jardin”. In order to honour this curious origin, the quarter`s streets also received the name of wilderness leading actors, such as Rozengracht , Goudbloemstraat and Tuinstraat.
Around these paths, different scenarios respond to the general atmosphere: ample gardens, like the ones at Willet-Holthuysen and Van Loon museums, compliment smaller front ones with lovely pots of flowers adding their colours and enchanting parfum to the district.
