Garden
Bishops Diocesan College
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 patch, very close to the Liesbeek River, is being worked on by a team of pupils from Bishop's. After removing the invasive grasses, a variety of plants have been added in order to make this into an indigenous patch. Work is ongoing, but a number of large indigenous plants have taken root and have strongly grown. The one side of the patch is hindered by large trees that create a lot of shade, which limits plant growth. Hopefully it is possible to trim these trees back which will help a lot.
