Found in the lowlands at the heart of South Africa’s Cape Floristic Region, the lowland renosterveld of South Africa’s Overberg is one of the most biodiverse and yet most threatened habitats on earth.

From the Cape Flats to the slopes of Table Mountain, our floral heritage is bringing people from different walks of life together – centred around the historic Leeuwenhof Estate.

All life on earth depends on plants. They feed us, they clothe us and more than 40% of our medicines are derived from them. Plants can modify weather systems

We focus on the conservation status and extent of our grasslands, threats and appropriate fire management.
