The miniature rockery just in front of the main administrative office represents plants of the various phytogeographic areas (plant geographic areas) of the Karoo.
|
| Here, the visitor will be introduced to such far away places as the Richtersveld, Botterkloof Karoo, Knersvlakte, Ceres Karoo, and others. There are over a 1000 plant species concentrated in a small area of 1225 sq. metres. |
|
This area is at its best during the autumn, winter and spring. Look for the Welwitschia mirabilis - this unusual plant comes from the Namib desert in Namibia.
