Kirstenbosch Gardens

Kirstenbosch Gardens are located around the back of Table Mountain. They are huge! The Cape area is part of the unique Cape Floral Kingdom which contains a plant called fynbos which is a basically a little shrub. The plant diversity of the Cape Floral Kingdom is amazing.

Since it was the day after Christmas many extended families had brought picnics. Sunday evenings there are also concerts in the gardens during the summer months.

Plant and nature lovers will love this place and could spend hours here. Others, it's definitely worth a walk through as it's really beautifully done.

Stunning photos. Such niceties to admire when in the dark depths of a northeast winter. Off to read your other South Africa post (a country at the top of my bucket list). Thanks for sharing!
