Corridor contribution
- To support planting of primarily locally indigenous vegetation (note: we don't expect the garden to currently be there, but the caretaker is willing to work toward this goal).
- To work on removing alien and invasive species.
- To periodically provide updates on the status of the garden.
- When possible, to share seeds or cuttings from the garden's indigenous plants with other members of our network.
This is garden ID pending in our corridor.
Description
Mountain Road Primary School is in Woodstock, Cape Town. Two separate buildings were erected in Mountain Road, one was Woodstock Boys' School, completed in 1922 and the other, Woodstock Girls' School, completed in 1923. In January 1972 these two schools were amalgamated and the school was called Mountain Road School.
Mountain Road Primary School is right next to Greenpop's Eco-Hub which is part of the school grounds. This is the pilot site for Fynbos for the Future and Greenpop had their first Fynbos for the Future plant day here in October 2018. As of October 2021, they've had 5 plant days and the garden currently boasts 961 fynbos plants.
Mountain Road Primary falls within the range of the critically endangered Peninsula Shale Renosterveld vegetation type.
