Our delightful endemic 'fynbos' garden. In the foreground are white gazania (not flowering at the time) with babiana in front and pelargoniums, commonly known as geraniums on the right.


Other than the enclosed area next to the pool only endemic species (that is naturally occur in the Cape Floral Kingdom only) have been planted in the garden. The picture above was been taken from the dining room, hence the reflection from the glass over Chapman's Peak. This picture was taken in December 1998. The garden has evolved considerably since then! In keeping with the miracle of fynbos my aim is to diversify the garden. The systematic cutting back of the thriving primary vegetation by natural processes and the judicious use of the pruning scissors leads the way for an ever increasing array of long term species. Living on the Beach, the salt-laden North-West is an interesting force that shapes the garden with the same un-concerning attitude as the waves that shape the shore and all else in its way. The diversity of fynbos, like the skills of the experienced surfer, allows the garden to thrive with the necessary adaptations and successions. As always, growth does bear some pain. Life only achieves its brilliance because to live is to have a little bit of death too. That to grow is to die, is inherent in life itself. This is good.
