Tucked between the mountains and the sea at the heart of the Cape Fynbos region, Harold Porter Botanical Garden in Betty's Bay is a captivating destination within the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. This remarkable garden showcases a diverse range of ecosystems, including wind-clipped heathlands, relict forests in deep gorges, flats and marshes with unique plant species like restios, sedges, and bulbs, as well as dunes adjacent to the beach housing salt-adapted plants. Famous for its enchanting waterfalls and amber pools, the garden is a haven for a variety of flora. Proteas and ericas dominate the landscape, alongside other significant plant families such as irises, daisies, and orchids. Visitors can admire the red disa orchid in its natural habitat and witness the magnificent king protea, South Africa's national flower.
