Makana Botanical Gardens
Makana Botanical Gardens A National Monument and established over 140 years ago the Grahamstown Botanical Gardens, or “Bots”, are set to become the latest tourist attraction in the Makana district. Following recent developments, the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism has through its Poverty Relief Programme and the National Botanical Institute, granted Rhodes University’s Grounds and Gardens Division R2.9 million over a period of two and a half years to renovate and secure an estimated 12-15 hectares of land. Grounds and Gardens Manager, Mark Hazell explained that the renovations would take place in phases, the first of which is to fence in the area utilising a combination of painted palisade and pole fencing. Once the area has been secured, alien vegetation will be removed with an emphasis on re-introducing indigenous and regional specimens.

Special Plants Garden
A plantsman's garden designed by an architect. Sinuous curves of box and stone and water follow the sweeping curves of the amazing landscape. Starting from overgrown fields on a steep hillside in 1996, this garden now sings with colour, getting better and better as the summer goes on. Many tender plants ensure that July and August are even better than June! The detailed placing of many rare and unusual plants delights the observant gardener as much as the colour coordination delights the artist's eye. Gravel garden, bog garden, vegetable garden, pond, woodland walk, black and white border, red hot border, the garden keeps growing. Most of the plants are available in the adjoining nursery.

West Dean Gardens
A classic 19th century designed landscape with a restored Victorian walled kitchen garden, 35 acres of ornamental grounds, a 240-acred landscaped park and St Roche's Arboretum. Features of the garden are a lavishly planted 300 foot-long Edwardian pergola terminated by a flint and stone gazebo. Herbaceous borders, shrubberies, woodland walks, rustic summerhouses, and water and wild gardens are set in lawns punctuated by venerable trees. The undoubted crowning glory of any visit to West Dean is the restored kitchen garden, Here, behind high walls, 16 pristine Victorian glasshouses and frames grow a variety of plants from peaches to peppers, cucumbers to coleus and aubergines to orchids. Out of doors the cornucopia continues as orderly rows of cabbages, carrots, lettuce and beetroot rub shoulders with herbaceous borders in rich reds, oranges and yellows. No space is wasted: over one mile of walls are covered with trained fruit including over 200 varieties of apple, pear, plum and others. In a nineteenth century setting, modern and historic skills, varieties and techniques are combined to produce plants at their peak of perfection.
