Welcome

Primary objectives of this experiential learning opportunity is to participate in plant conservation and curatorial efforts at Stellenbosch Botanical Gardens, assist in the operations of the Cape Institute of Micropropagation and botanize to become familiar with the Cape Floristic Region biodiversity.
