There are currently 2,034 alien species which have established themselves in South Africa.
The Chelsea Flower Show 2017 kicked off on Sunday and hundreds of celebrities, including the Royal family, were able to enjoy the gardens and displays, of which the South African National Biodiversity Institute’s (SANBI) garden was one.
SANDI garden at the Chelsea Flower Show today won gold. Not only was the display exceptional but yet again the story of the garden is not just about plants in the earth. The ideas behind this year’s garden expand far beyond that and again SA is ahead of the game in living up to UNESCO’s “Man and the Biosphere Project”.
