124 6 Street Linden
This garden is a registered restoration garden within the
Braamfontein Spruit Ecological Corridor.
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 #005 in our corridor.
Description
Existing indigenous garden, with some Egoli granite grassland species. Has a large Kikuyu lawn that I want to transfer to a Egoli Granite Grassland. I would like to plant it more as a training garden for Egoli Granite Grassland than an aesthetic garden. In other words I want to know what I planted where, therefore I demarcated most of the species in 2x2m blocks. Accent plants will fall within these blocks.
