These include thistle protea, bakkerbos, cancer bush, blue African sage, padsabos and others.
Then yesterday, the department was joined by community members in sowing and scattering seeds of local fynbos species at the Jack Muller Park in Bellville. ‘Parks and public open spaces in our urban environment are important community assets and foster an appreciation of nature, right on our doorsteps,’ said Mayco member Patricia Ross.
‘Through these community-driven initiatives, we contribute to the ecological improvement of parks and other public open spaces, while also fostering a sense of ownership and a co-responsibility to protect and maintain these spaces.’Cape {town} Etc discount:
