National Botanical Gardens
Nine National
Botanical Gardens are situated throughout the country in 5 of South
Africa's 9 different biomes.
When Kirstenbosch, the most famous of the Gardens, was founded in 1913
to preserve the country's unique flora, it was the first botanical garden
in the world with this ethos.
What makes the Gardens so famous worldwide is that only indigenous plants
are cultivated.
An Interpretation Programme spans all 9 Gardens.
