REALISE
Our region is a sea of colour during the months of spring. It is not only the colours of wildflowers that make this time of year so special, but also the colourful fruits of the citrus plantations, vineyards, vegetable and grain crops. We need to maintain a balance between the development of agriculture and the economy, as well as preserving the natural ecosystem of our region.
REALIGN
Climate change is a very harsh but unfortunately true reality, and with it comes the responsibility of conservation and recovery. The future we are leaving for our children begins today. Our generation needs to stop en improve the damage that has been done to nature without affecting food supply.
REAPPLY
Our committee aims to launch a project for the replanting of natural flora on previously disturbed land. The rehabilitation of these grounds through planting various plant species is our way of giving back to the ecosystem, ensuring that our children can appreciate these species when they are older and reapply what is necessary in order to do what is necessary in the fight against climate change.
A WELL KNOWN LANDSCAPE OF MORE THAN 360 FLOWER SPECIES IN THE CEDERBERG MOUNTAINS
This show is made possible by volunteers in the area that pick and preserve different flower species.
The flowers are then arranged into a colourful living landscape in the Blommekerk in town for the thousands of visitors to enjoy.
It is basically impossible to view this vast array of unique and beautiful flowers without going to great lengths. The main aim of the show is to make sure that all flower fans can see virtually every wildflower species in one area.
A UNIQUE ECOSYSTEM BECAUSE OF THE MERGE BETWEEN THE FOUR FLORAL DISTRICTS
The Cape Floral Kingdom is broken up into eight flower districts boasting its own unique plants and flowers.
The Cederberg district is unique in the sense that it is situated at a point where four of the eight floral districts meet so you get the best of four worlds.
The merge between the floral districts created a unique ecosystem. Over the past 20 years there has been a 300 percent increase in the number of threatened species and we want to show everyone why it is so important that we protect this unique biodiversity.
