What to buy at the Kirstenbosch Indigenous Plant Sale

Avery Avenue was once Sand Plain Fynbos. If anyone is looking for some waterwise, locally indigenous plants to buy at the Kirstenbosch Plant Sale on 20-21 March, the following is a list of plants that would have grown on our sandy soil. They still occur naturally on the Sand Plain Fynbos remnant of Meadowridge Common. It was compiled by Fiona Watson of the Friends of Meadowridge Common. (See http://meadowridgecommon.blogspot.com/)
