Cape Town has an abundance of extraordinary private gardens, and this route focuses on the indigenous private gardens, gardens that reflect the natural magnificence of the city, and the creativity of their gardeners. At each home, guests will enjoy a high tea with the creators of the gardens.
Some gardens are in townships, and are a tribute to the triumph of the garden over adversity. And some are in the suburbs where, traditionally, gardens have thrived. It is a great way to learn about Cape Town's natural environment, while getting a greater insight into the city and its people.
