The Company's Garden is a park and heritage site〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://196.35.231.29/sahra/HeritageSitesDetail.aspx?id=12954 )〕 located in central Cape Town. The garden was originally created in the 1650s by the region's first European settlers and provided fertile ground to grow fresh produce to replenish ships rounding the Cape. It is watered from the Molteno Dam, which uses water from the springs on the lower slopes of Table Mountain.〔http://www.capetown.gov.za/en/MediaReleases/Pages/CitysGreenHeartSavesWater.aspx〕 == Features in the park == * The oldest cultivated pear tree in South Africa (circa 1652) * A rose garden designed and built in 1929 * A well stocked fish pond * Dellville Wood Memorial Garden, which commemorates the World War I Battle of Delville Wood in France, in which a predominantly South African force of more than 3,000 soldiers was reduced to 755 survivors by German forces * An aviary * Restaurant – (The Company's Garden Restaurant ) * Botanically and historically valuable trees * Local arts and crafts along the avenue * Lawns and benches * A herb and succulent garden * Historic statues * Iziko South African Museum and Iziko National Gallery 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Company's Garden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
