Corridor contribution
- 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 #003 in our corridor.
Description
This biodiversity-focused garden in Blairgowrie has been developed since 2024 in a large garden that had a number of mature indigenous trees and several unused spaces and had been neglected. An indigenous grassland garden including a pond with indigenous plants and a food garden using raised beds were added in July/August 2024, based on a design by Ryan Ebedes from Grounded Landscaping (https://www.groundedlandscaping.co.za/) A number of locally indigenous trees were added in fall 2025. A small shade garden, indigenous lawn and mixed beds of shrubs and flowers with mostly indigenous plants have been added. The garden also has a small thicket of indigenous trees and shrubs.
