2011 has been an exciting year at the Durban Botanic Gardens.
New garden development projects and innovation in the form of the Living Beehive and the installation of
two large solar array panels has inspired a new exciting future for the Gardens. 2012 begins the year of
the Gardens Refreshed campaign that will see an new innovative edge to our projects and programmes on
biodiversity, education, research, heritage and horticultural excellence.
A big thank you to all our visitors, and people who have supported the Gardens in so many ways during the
course of this year. A blessed Christmas and peaceful new year from all at the Gardens.
