This superbly elegant book tells the story of one of South Africa’s
most loved and admired gardens. It’s also the story of a historic
and beautiful house, a uniquely preserved example of Cape Dutch
architecture. Stellenberg is one of Cape Town’s oldest estates, and
many colourful and important figures have played a part in its
history. Tracing the story from the original grant made in 1697,
the book opens a fascinating window into the past, brought to life
with old photographs, paintings and documents drawn from the Cape
Archives. But the gardens are the main story, and the text provides
a detailed insight into their inspiration and evolution over a
period more than 25 years, gloriously illustrated with numerous
colour photographs and drawings that capture their timeless charm.
The design and planting of each area are described in detail, as
are problems encountered along the way – and their solutions. A
separate chapter takes you behind the scenes to share the month by
month management and maintenance of the garden. Evocative and
informative, this is a book that will inspire all gardeners and
lovers of design and architecture. Presentation and design are as
elegant as the garden itself and make this a beautiful book to give
and own.
