Bluegum in Bordeaux
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 #002 in our corridor.
