Newlands Tree Stump Garden
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
This site is the remains of a very old tree that died from a bad prune. We will replace the grass with indigenous plants and fill the stump with soil and plants to bring some life after death. This site is next to Newlands pool very close to another garden along the Liesbeek River called Sans Souci River patch. This patch will be an educational garden for children that go to the pool and will support surviving Fynbos bulbs in a road verge nearby, by bringing pollinators to the flowers so that the isolated plants can be pollinated
