The Company’s Garden, located in the Cape Town City Bowl, is a historic public park and heritage site that dates back to the 1650s. Originally established by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) as a vegetable garden to supply fresh produce to passing ships, it is the oldest cultivated garden in South Africa. Over time, it evolved into a beautifully landscaped space that now serves as a green oasis amidst the bustling city, offering visitors a place to relax, explore, and learn about Cape Town’s rich history.
The garden was first planted in 1652 under the leadership of Jan van Riebeeck, who established a refreshment station at the Cape for Dutch sailors. The fresh fruit and vegetables grown here played a crucial role in preventing scurvy among seafarers. As Cape Town developed, the garden expanded, and sections were repurposed for ornamental use. By the 19th century, it had become a public park with tree-lined avenues, fountains, and statues, reflecting its European-inspired landscaping.
Today, the Company’s Garden is home to a variety of attractions, including:
- The South African National Gallery, which houses an impressive collection of art.
- The Iziko South African Museum and Planetarium, featuring natural history exhibits and celestial displays.
- Historical statues, including those of Cecil Rhodes and Sir George Grey.
- A large rose garden, a Japanese garden, and various shaded walkways.
- An aviary and friendly squirrels, which are a favourite among visitors.
- The historic pear tree, believed to be one of the oldest cultivated trees in South Africa.
- The Company’s Garden Restaurant, offering a relaxing spot to enjoy local cuisine.
With its rich heritage and serene atmosphere, the Company’s Garden remains a beloved landmark, offering a perfect blend of history, culture, and natural beauty in the heart of Cape Town.
