More info about Harold Porter National Botanical Garden
The Harold Porter National Botanical Garden at Betty’s Bay in the Western Cape lies within the protected Kogelberg Biosphere, an area deemed to be ecologically diverse and a sensitive and important ecosystem. The 10ha cultivated gardens are beautifully laid out with paths meandering through the many indigenous plants. Above the gardens and hugging the mountain slopes is a further 190ha of natural vegetation that includes fynbos, forest, rivers and two waterfalls.
The botanical garden was first established in 1955 by the land owner who named the gardens Shangri-La Nature Reserve. With the help of convicts he cut a hiking trail up to Bobbejaanskop peak and after his death, his wife constructed a bridge over the river. These features are still a part of the gardens. The reserve name was later changed in his honour to the Harold Porter National Botanical Garden after it was taken over by national parks authorities.
