Our Story
About the Museum
Dinah Veeris founded Dinah’s Botanic and Historic Garden, ‘Den Paradera’ in 1991. This herb garden is located on the east side of Curaçao and is divided into three parts: the botanical garden, the historic garden and the production area, including the shop.
The name ‘Den Paradera’ comes from the Indian name Paraguiri and it means: where you want to stay. Dinah produces products made with herbs from the garden that can be tested and purchased in the shop. Furthermore, the garden serves as an educational resource on the island. Visitor are welcome to gain knowledge and to be amazed about the application of medicinal herbs.
