How to Bonsai - My bonsai that I received as a gift is dying - Help

Slopes covered in robes of glory

My visit to Burger was to highlight the guerilla garden she’s been largely responsible for creating on the corner of Rocklands Road and the road through Simon’s Town to Cape Point.

In just a few years, the small section has changed from a rubble dump to a colourful garden, where tour buses have been known to stop.

Burger has garnered the support of the people in the area, who have helped with donations and time, and she has put in many hours of her own time.

An old wood-and-iron bench, restored by her husband Willie, is placed above the garden, with a magnificent view across False Bay.

There’s still work to do – a section behind the bench needs to be planted, and the garden needs constant attention.

While this garden is a gift to the area, her own garden at home takes my breath away.

Burger had told me her garden was looking beautiful, but I wasn’t expecting the riot of colour that greeted me. This is summer in Simon’s Town, with extreme wind and a sloping garden which would deter most people.
