From Fynbos to Fossils: Sharing South Africa’s Stories

Penelope and Chris took the Grootbos Florilegium on the road this week!

They visited Graaff-Reinet and set up a pop-up version of the Florilegium at the Origins Karoo Fossil Centre.

At Grootbos, we celebrate fynbos and plants that tell stories from the past. At Origins Karoo Fossil Centre, they celebrate fossils that hold the natural history of South Africa in the earth and rock.
