Highlands 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
Highlands Primary School is in the Woodlands area, Mitchell's Plain. The school is one of the first schools in the area and opened in 1975. At the time the school only had 23 learners. Today the school has more than 800 learners and 28 educators.
Greenpop had its first Fynbos for the Future plant day here in October 2019. As of October 2021, they've had 4 plant days and the garden currently boasts 721 fynbos plants.
