Nature

Designed around a magnificent plane tree avenue and other century-old trees, this historic garden enthrals visitors with displays of indigenous forest and grassland plants. This historic Garden’s Victorian past is evident in its magnificent specimens of northern hemisphere plants, such as the swamp cypress, tulip, camphor and plane trees, giant figs and magnolias.
One of the highlights of the garden is the avenue of London plane trees, which has astounded visitors since 1908. The garden has recorded over 150 species of birds. A special feature is the fascinating Medicinal Garden, displaying plants used culturally by the Zulu people. The restaurant, situated at the head of the London Plane Tree Avenue, offers a scenic venue to enjoy a meal.
