Friends of the garden

Every leaf, every flower, every path you walk in the garden exists because of people who care. By becoming a Friend of the Botanical Garden, you’re not just donating — you’re helping to protect a living sanctuary of biodiversity, beauty, and learning, right here in the oldest university botanical garden in South Africa.

Your generosity means protecting a living heritage garden that has inspired generations. It enables groundbreaking botanical research and conservation and creates a sanctuary where nature, culture, and learning meet. 

Join the friends of the botanical garden today. Together, we can ensure that this historic garden continues to flourish for generations to come.
