Manie Van Der Schijff Botanical Garden
Pretoria, South Africa, South Africa
The Manie van der Schijff Botanical Garden is a small but rich botanical garden on the University of Pretoria’s Hatfield west campus in Pretoria, South Africa, covering about 3.5 hectares with around 3,000 plant species.
Formally established in 1934, it began as a research and conservation space for southern African flora, especially cycads and other indigenous plants, and was later named after Professor Manie van der Schijff to honor his contributions to botany and the garden’s development.
The garden is open to the public and serves as both a living classroom for students and a conservation site where rare species are collected, propagated, and studied, while also featuring specialized projects such as a rainwater‑harvesting garden and plant‑rich green walls connected to the Plant Science building.
