Fynbos Flower Exhibit: Grootbos Foundation Sneak Peek

Bulelani and Asavela are hard at work as part of the Chelsea Flowers build team, creating something truly special. The flower exhibit is being built with local craftsmanship, blending farmed cut flowers and wild-harvested greenery to produce a stunning fynbos crescendo for the senses. The industrial charm of the building perfectly complements the beauty of the display, using landscaping art to highlight the diverse shapes, textures, colours, and scents of the Cape Floral Kingdom.

The Walker Bay Region’s rich botanical heritage is reflected in this exhibit, showcasing why it has such a long and proud tradition in the world of flora.
