Then, having boarded the Scillonian, a notoriously flat bottomed passenger boat, I was flung some 30 miles over notoriously choppy Atlantic waters to arrive in the Scilly Isles. The reason for my visit was to gain some insight into the growing techniques employed by UK based horticulturalists in the cultivation of Fynbos species of the Western Cape of South Africa. The South West of Cornwall, with its mild maritime climate provides suitable growing conditions for a broader range of the world’s Mediterranean flora than elsewhere in the UK. The Fynbos is the dominant vegetation type of the Cape Floristic Region. Marked by Port Elisabeth on the East and Cape Town on the West, the area is shown in Fig. 1. The region contains roughly 9000 species and seven endemic families. It is one of the Figure 1- The Cape Floristic Region most diverse floras on Earth. The flora has been extensively documented, John Mannings Field Guide to Fynbos provides a succinct introduction to its character.

The guidelines are based on: 1) Dr. Patricia M. Holmes, 2003. Management and Restoration Plan for an Area of Tokai Plantation East of Orpen Road and between the Two Car Park Areas. 2) Dr. Patricia M. Holmes, 2004. Management Plan for the Extension of the Core Cape Flats Flora Conservation Site in the Lower Tokai Forest. 3) De Villiers et al, 2005. Ecosystem Guidelines for Environmental Assessment in the Western Cape, 4) Forestry Industry Environmental Committee, 2002. Environmental Guidelines for Commercial Forestry Plantations in South Africa. 5) Conservation of Agricultural Resources Act (Act No. 43 of 1983). 6) National Water Act (Act No. 36 of 1998). 1.1 Management It should be appreciated that restoration is a process that does not happen in one step, but rather in several steps of recovery along a course of natural repair, with occasional interventions being required to redirect this trajectory along the desired path.

  • The Wind Garden

    The Wind Garden

    RIGHT: Leucospermum cuneiform on a spring morning. Photo: C. Emily Dibb. Garden In• the Wind by C. Emily Dibb An inspirational garden combines the wild spirit of the fynbos with the traditional English garden. When I was a child in what was then Matabeleland, it was nine months of the year when there was no rain, this part considered eccentric to have an indigenous garden. A garden, of the garden remained bone-dry. Water from the well was by definition, meant a place where the indigenous vegetation used for the orchard and vegetable beds. Beyond the garden had been swept away to make space for 'real flowers' and was the veld, the waving assegai grass and an infinity of lit­ vegetables.
