Grootbos Florilegium Brings Fynbos to Eden Project UK

For our parting shot, one of Grootbos Foundation's longest relationships with the Eden Project in the UK has also bloomed into a spectacular new event that celebrates fynbos.

The Grootbos Florilegium has grown wings and been installed on large outdoor signs in the Mediterranean Biome at Eden. This is the same biome that Sean Privett helped to set up originally when he planted fynbos plants and it is the same place that Rebecca and our Green Futures students have visited over the years.

The Grootbos Florilegium art has been added to the British visitor experience - what a great honour and we hope it inspires and impresses visitors to the Eden Project as much as it inspires us who get to live in it in South Africa. From all of us at Grootbos Foundation, I wish you a wonderful weekend.
