"But I had to wait until I reached Johannesburg and walked into the garden of Vanessa and Haydn Davies .. to finally find what I had been looking for a garden built entirely from African plants. The Davies were completely committed from the beginning to building a garden of discovery composed entirely of African species without using invasive, foreign-introduced plants, especially ones from Australia and South America... We thought it ridiculous when you have a choice of 1,400 indigenous trees here to plant non-native ones, says Haydn. In total, the garden has more than 60 species of African trees, including a white karee (Searsia pendulina), Olinia emarginata and a Karomia speciosa. Every inch of ground is crammed with African plants : Cape thatching reed, kingfisher daisy, Orange River lilies, coleonema, purple eucomis, plumbago, Cape honeysuckle, watsonia, nemesia, and on and on..."
