The devastating drought and municipal water restrictions from 2015 caused serious harm to the plant life of our village.
Consequently, at its meeting in January 2020, the Management Committee elected Philip van den Berg (U34) to assemble a team to repair the damage to the public areas. Philip is a widely respected conservationist.
The first phase of the restoration process focussed on the garden in front of the administration building. As the before and after photographs (below) of our front garden show, the success that Philip and his team have achieved in one year, is remarkable.

The final phase of the restoration/beautification process is already underway. Philip and his team are planting a large number of cape honeysuckle (Tecomaria capensis) shrubs along the southern and eastern borders of our village. The cape honeysuckle is an evergreen plant that flourishes in warm regions such as ours.
