The Johannesburg Botanic Garden, Johannesburg - South Africa

The Johannesburg Botanical Gardens date all the way back to 1866, before the city of Johannesburg was founded. The area was part of the Braamfontein farm which was owned by the Geldenhuys family. Following the Anglo-Boer wars at the turn of the century the family contracted landless Boers to build the Emmarentia Dam (which was named after Louw Geldenhuys’s wife, Emmarentia) and to plant thousands of trees around the area. The botanical gardens were founded soon after.
