22 Emmarentia, Parkview
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 #001 in our corridor.
