Like Place | Paarman Manor in Constantia, Cape Town, South Africa, #Visi32

We all know Ina Paarman spices, but when I found this

article in the Visi #32 (longago issue), i was quite wide-eyed

with the beauty of the gardens. ( 8200 SQM)

 (images scanned in from visi magazine #32)

" The site is located on the north facing slope of Constantia on sandy clay soils.  The topograghy consisted of grass terraces and stone retaining structures.  The site included numerous distinctive mature trees which imparted a great influence towards the design process.  These included Cork Oaks, Outeniquq Yellowoods , wild Peach trees, ancient fruit Olives and exotic, smaller indigenous trees "
