Botanical gardens house some of the rarest plant species. These gardens are usually filled with the flowers and colorful greens of the nurtured plants. One of the botanical gardens with a great selection of native plant species is Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden in South Africa.
Located in Cape Town, the capital of South Africa, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden was established to cultivate only indigenous plants. Roughly 7,000 plant species are nurtured in the 89-acre large garden. The garden has a history rooted in the pre-historic peasant farm practices of early inhabitants who had farmed on the land roughly two millennia ago.
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is also a shelter for many of the threatened indigenous plants in South Africa. As of 2013, South Africa had the highest number of extinct indigenous plants. Part of the mission of Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is to mitigate the rapid extinction record in the country. Some of the plants currently on the verge of extinction in South Africa include Kraaifontein spiderhead, dagger-leaf sugarbush, and mimetes stokoei.
