Cypress Primary School
This garden is a registered restoration garden within the
Fynbos Corridor Collaboration.
The garden caretaker has committed:
- 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
Cypress Primary School in the Athlone area, Cape Town. The school opened in July 1966 and has a rich history in sports achievement, mostly in netball. After 1994 the school was one of the first to integrate learners from all backgrounds. Currently, the school has 599 learners.
Greenpop had its first Fynbos for the Future plant day here in May 2019. As of October 2021, they've had 3 plant days and the garden currently boasts 720 fynbos plants.
