The gardens and flora of the Cape
The Western Cape is one of the richest plant regions on earth. The Cape Floral Kingdom — the smallest of the world’s floral kingdoms — holds thousands of species found nowhere else, from proteas and ericas to restios and bulbs, many of which have become familiar in gardens around the world.
This future GardenTours.com departure is being planned around Cape Town and the Western Cape: Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden on the slopes of Table Mountain, the gardens of Cape Town, the historic estates and contemporary gardens of the Cape Winelands, and the fynbos landscapes of the Cape peninsula.
We are planning the tour for the southern spring, when the West Coast wildflowers can carpet the land in colour, so that the journey brings together great gardens and the native flora that has inspired them.
The itinerary is in preparation. Those on the priority list will be the first to receive the dates, prices and full itinerary when the departure is released.
