Harold Porter National Botanical Garden

The Harold Porter garden spans 200 hectares between mountains and sea, featuring 10 hectares of cultivated gardens and 190 hectares of natural fynbos vegetation.

Three business partners, including Harold Porter, acquired the land in the 1930s, leading to the creation of Betty's Bay township and subsequent garden development.

The garden exhibits the Cape Fynbos region's flora within the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, containing 1,600 plant species native to South Africa.

Visitors can explore multiple trails, including the Fynbos Trail and Disa Kloof Trail, while facilities include a restaurant, shop, and plant sales area.

The garden's landscape encompasses deep gorges, waterfalls, amber pools, and coastal dunes, supporting diverse wildlife from porcupines to sixty bird species.
