I can work in a big nursery, do landscaping or anywhere that I can deal with nature. I also wish to further my studies and learn more.

I would like to work in a nursery because I like to work with plants. I know how to do cuttings of fynbos and other indigenous plants. I would like to work with people so that we can help each other.
Luyanda Siyotywa
I learnt more about plants and can do cuttings of special fynbos as well as other plant species. I also like to do landscaping and planting.

Thank you for the kind messages of concern and care this week as an early summer fynbos fire burned between Gansbaai and Stanford.
The view at Grootbos shows a clear outline of where the fire moved towards the Walker Bay area and onto the reserve.
From all of us at Grootbos Foundation, we wish you a fabulous weekend full of wild discoveries.
