Why go
Established in 1968, the garden lets you compare plants grown for scent, food, medicine and display in one place. The change from the terraced Rose Garden to the dam-side lawns gives the walk a different scale, with bird habitat around the smaller upper dams.
What to look for
- The terraced Rose Garden combines formal planting with ponds and fountains.
- Shakespeare-related planting sits alongside culinary and medicinal herb collections.
- The arboretum and lawns contrast with bird habitat around the upper dams.
Useful to know
- Use the main entrance on Olifants Road.
- Allow roughly 30 minutes for a short visit or up to two hours to explore more of the gardens and dam-side setting.
- Confirm photography arrangements if bringing a camera; cellphone photography and camera use have different rules.
