Company's Garden

City of Cape Town, ZA

The Company's Garden is a large public park situated in Cape Town CBD - the main commercial district of Cape Town. It is the oldest garden in South Africa, and a national heritage site. The garden was originally created in the 1650s by the region's first European settlers and provided fertile ground

to grow fresh produce to replenish ships rounding the Cape. It is watered from the Molteno Dam, which uses water from the springs on the lower slopes of Table Mountain.
