Fynbos Garden
A garden that is planted with indigenous South African plants that are found in the Fynbos biome. This flowering garden attracts plenty of birds and butterflies.
Mediterranean Garden
A Mediterranean garden is designed to reflect the climate and aesthetic of the Mediterranean region, emphasizing drought-resistant plants and outdoor living spaces.
Key elements include:
Drought-Tolerant Plants: Olive trees, lavender, rosemary and succulents are commonly used.
Shade Structures: Pergolas and trellises covered with climbing plants like grapevines or bougainvillaea offer shaded areas for relaxation.
Outdoor Living Spaces: Courtyards, patios, and seating areas encourage outdoor dining and socializing, often furnished with wooden or wrought-iron furniture.
Bushveld Garden
A bushveld garden is inspired by the natural landscapes of the African savanna, particularly the bushveld regions. It emphasizes indigenous plants, rugged beauty, and a sense of wilderness.
Key elements include:
Indigenous Plants: Trees and shrubs like acacias, aloes, and succulents are used for their hardiness and ability to attract local wildlife.
Naturalistic Design: The layout mimics the untamed bushveld, with irregular, informal planting patterns that create a sense of wildness.
Rocks and Boulders: Natural rock formations and scattered boulders are integrated into the design, adding texture and structure.
Grassland Areas: Patches of grasses and wildflowers mimic the savanna plains, offering a contrast to the shrubbery.
Paths and Trails: Winding, dirt, or gravel paths lead through the garden, encouraging exploration and a connection to nature.
