Wander Kirstenbosch
National Botanical Gardens
Beautifully situated on the eastern slopes of Table
Mountain, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens are part of the Cape Floristic Region
UNESCO World Heritage site. The property was left to the State in 1902 by Cecil
Rhodes 1902 and the gardens were created in 1913 in order to preserve the
native flora of the country. This was one of the very first botanical gardens
around the world to be able to fulfill this goal.
More than 20,000 indigenous South African plant
species are harvested, cultivated, and explored in the 528-hectare hilly nature
reserve that is home to indigenous forests and Fynbos. The most interesting
historical sites are the almond-tree hedges that were planted in 1660 by Jan
van Riebeeck in 1660 and an avenue of fig and camphor trees that were planted
in 1898 by Cecil Rhodes 1898. The shrubs, flowers, and trees are laid out to
create a display of color and blossoms enhance the garden all through the
season.
