South African Gardens
Botanical Gardens in Johannesburg:
FEEL like taking a stroll in the luxuriant part of the Namib Desert or the Sahara? Now you can - at the new Succulent Garden, a little forest of cacti at the Johannesburg Botanic Gardens....
There are more than 85 species of succulent plant in the garden, which was developed "100 percent internally" by City Parks employees, according to Shonisani Munzhedzi, the general manager of environment conservation development at the utility....
Williamson urged visitors to the botanic gardens and the succulent garden in particular to "respect" and take care of the flora. He said the succulent garden was part of a broader plan by City Parks to beautify the City of Johannesburg ahead of the 2010 Fifa Soccer World Cup.
So many species, so little time.
