Kirstenbosch Garden of Extinction

About Kirstenbosch Garden of Extinction

The Kirstenbosch Garden of Extinction is a poignant, themed section within the larger Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden that offers a sobering look at South Africa's most threatened flora. This garden isn't just about beautiful blooms; it’s a living museum of what we stand to lose. Situated near Gate 2 (the Rycroft Gate), it showcases roughly 1,500 species that are critically endangered or already extinct in the wild.
