The winter rains on the Bokkeveld Plateau lead to massive blooms from August to the middle of October. 1,350 plant species are recorded here, including the Blue Pride-of-Nieuwoudtville. The garden has many bulbs and the geology includes formations in dolerite outcroppings.
It is the only national botanical garden in the Northern Cape and covers 6,200 ha, mostly covered with renosterveld. Nine hiking trails run through the park.[1][2][3]
