GC6JWNB Urban Parks 10: Stellenbosch Botanical Gardens (Unknown Cache) in Eastern Cape, South Africa created by albert&anne

This cache has been archived.

albert&anne: Due to personal circumstances we have, very regrettably, not been able to do much caching in 2018. We however enjoy it a lot and would like to do it again in the future when circumstances are better. We have already replaced MORE THAN 20 containers on this series (being in residentail areas with high muggle activity), but having now been "put on the clock" with this series with Needs maintenance logs (instead of being messaged), decided to Archive rather than being the cause of the DNFs.

Stellenbosch Botanical Gardens

The Stellenbosch Botanical Garden is the oldest university botanic garden in South Africa. The Garden is beautifully maintained and includes three glass houses (tropical-, succulent- and karoo houses), Lotus lily / Koi fish pond, Japanese Garden, Herb Garden and arboretum.

The garden is widely regarded as an open-air laboratory and serves as a centre for training, science, conservation and recreation. For this purpose rare plants have been imported from all over the world. This Botanical Garden, a mostly undiscovered gem in the historical centre of Stellenbosch, gives joy to all its visitors. The garden is small and compact, but time and again visitors are surprised by the atmosphere and the variety of plants and plant products found here.
