Company's Garden, Historical garden in central Cape Town, South Africa.
The 3.2-hectare garden contains a rose garden, Japanese garden, fish pond, aviary, and numerous botanical specimens across its green spaces.
The Dutch East India Company established this garden in 1652 under master gardener Hendrik Boom to supply fresh vegetables to ships rounding the Cape.
The garden grounds connect multiple cultural institutions, including Parliament, the South African Museum, and the South African National Gallery.
The garden opens from 7:00 to 19:00 in winter and 7:30 to 20:30 in summer, with direct access from Queen Victoria Street.
The garden features South Africa's oldest cultivated pear tree, planted around 1652, and maintains a permanent craft market for local artisans.
