Alicedale 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
Alicedale Primary School is in Athlone, Cape Town and is a commuter school. Learners come from areas as far as Khayelitsha. Princess Alice, the wife of the governor of the Cape, opened the school in July 1940. Since the opening, the school grew from 210 learners to currently 570 learners.
Greenpop had its first Fynbos for the Future plant day there in November 2019. As of October 2021, they've had 4 plant days and the garden currently boasts 1,186 fynbos plants
