The garden offers visitors the space to soak in the natural Cape Floral Kingdom surroundings at their own leisurely pace. Orchards of abundant fruit, acres of vegetables, farm animals and a macrocosm of pollinating insects make up the botanical haven, alongside unique exhibitions and collections.

Among others, these include thousands of vibrant clivias, a Succulent House with arid-adapted plants representing the unique vegetation of South Africa’s most arid regions, and an exotic cycad collection – one of the rarest plant exhibitions in the world accessible to the public.

The Spice House, Greenhouse and Healing Garden at the rear end of the formal garden harbour a variety of tropical plants. These represent the wide selection of tropical herbs and spices in South African cuisine.
