Garden
Ryan Road Park
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 piece of land is located right off the subway and it has seen better times. Overgrown grass dominates the terrain and the remains of a seating area can be seen. With the support of people in the community we would like to clean up this space. The land belongs to Metrorail and we have received permission to work on cleaning it up. We have listed some plant species as initial inspiration, but we are open to any suggestions and ideas. For the next raining season our goal is for expanding the patch of this garden so that we can plant more indigenous species, we want to have more planting area and less grass in the middle of the garden.

We work on this piece of land generally on Wednesdays, 16.00-17.00. Check out upcoming events to see if we are here coming Wednesday. We also have Saturday events. Come join us!
