Young Gardeners are Building a Fynbos Corridor across…
On Friday, children from Cypress Primary School in Athlone left their classrooms to plant fynbos in the school garden.
This was part of Greenpop’s “Fynbos for the Future” project where schoolchildren help to create green spaces and to build a fynbos corridor, learning about plants and the environment at the same time.
“Trees aren’t really meant to grow on the Cape Flats,” said Deon Louw, manager of Greenpop’s Urban Greening programme. The area is dry and windy in the summer, windy. The soil has few nutrients. “Fynbos is supposed to grow here. It’s what grew here before people grew here,” he says.
