Gardens Galore
| Famous gardens of the Cape:Cape Town was settled by Europeans in the 1600's for the primary purpose of planting a garden to supply passing ships with vegetables. A combination of unique natural resources, the merging of African, Dutch, English, French and Eastern cultures have given rise to some interesting garden styles. Depending on the time of year and your preferences, we will tailor make a tour best suited.
