Nelson Mandela University

Nature in the Garden Route draws and connects people. We invite you to learn more about the rich biodiversity that the southern Cape is known for. In October we kick off a series of talks with a seasonal theme, starting with a Spring. This is a collaborative initiative between Nelson Mandela University, WESSA, the Garden Route Botanical Garden and The Small Things Fund. Join is for the inaugural talk on Wednesday 14th October 2026 with pollination specialist, Dr Anina Coetzee.
