Company
Gardens
One of Jan van Riebeeck's first tasks after coming
ashore at Table Bay in April 1652, was to create
a vegetable garden, one which would feed the Cape's
first permanent European settlement. This humble
patch of ground still flourishes today. It is today,
of South Africa's most attractive and botanically
most interesting city parks.
