#Gardens for Good

How We Work
Through Gardens for Good, we work with schools, hospitals, and other community organisations to plant gardens, run engaging gardening days for corporates and communities, support teachers, and build the capacity of groundskeepers.

Through these activities, we aim to increase green space and the ecosystem services it provides, improve green space maintenance and management, and increase nature appreciation and stewardship in urban areas.

   We create indigenous gardens including a wide variety of fynbos and other locally appropriate plants.

   We install infrastructure such as seating, fencing, and shade structures to increase garden utility.

5. Garden Days
