Botanical Garden
Animals in George

For the leisure at heart, the gardens hosts endless paths, a tea garden and a bird hide. We know that quite a few customers ordered the lovely orange Erica cerintoides and the Leucadendron argenteum (Silver-bush). Quite a few of the interesting honey-buchu are being delivered too. 2014 activities activity adventure Afrikaans carbootsale community donations environment herbarium members membership nursery plants projects run running southern cape sponsors sponsorship support tea garden trails walk walking. The pioneer Afromontane forest area on the eastern boundary was planted by volunteers of the George branch of the Botanical Society of South Africa, The South Cape Herbarium, members of the local community and people sentenced to community service under the Department of correctional services. We have just had a very successful Spring Indigenous Plant Sale, it was one of the best sales in years. We are pleased to announce that our Tea Garden is once again open for business. This would comprise an evening of photographing frogs and all other organisms in the Gardens. We aim to photograph everything and post it on the internet site iSpot as a special Bioblitz for Leap Day. Bring your own torches and cameras and meet at the entrance at 6:30. Most people are under the impression that the Garden Route Botanical Garden is a Public Park. The Botanical Garden is managed by a Trust, the Garden Route Botanical Garden Trust (GRBGT) which, with limited resources, manages the garden to keep it up to National Botanical Garden standards.
