[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Kirstenbosch is the name of a famous botanical garden nestled at the foot of Table Mountain in Cape Town.
The garden includes a large, indoor greenhouse exhibiting plants from a number of different regions, including savanna, fynbos, karoo and others.
Outdoors, the focus moves to plants native to the Cape region, highlighted by the spectacular collections of proteas, the national flower.
The Kirsten part of the name is believed to be the surname of the manager of the land, J.F. Kirsten, in the 1700s. The bosch part of the name is a Dutch word for 'forest' or 'bush'.
