De basis voor de overvloed van het bekroonde landgoed Delaire Graff is een duurzame, milieuvriendelijke aanpak die het land van de grond af voedt. We vragen tuinmanager Torstiel Gumbo hoe hij deze gezonde tuinen cultiveert.<\/p>\n
The artfully landscaped gardens tucked between Delaire Graff\u2019s mountainside vineyards were originally designed by world-renowned horticulturist Keith Kirsten. Twelve years on, the full-time management of these magnificent gardens lies in the capable hands of Torstiel Gumbo, the estate\u2019s dedicated garden manager.<\/p>\n
Assisted by a team of 13 full-time gardeners, Torstiel has developed a sustainable, earth-friendly approach to taking care of 12 hectares of mainly indigenous plants and trees that flourish on the terraced slopes below the Botsmaskop peak. There are more than 350 species of plants on the estate, 70 percent of which are indigenous. The balance are exotic, non-invasive flowering species selected to bring splashes of colour and heady fragrance to the grounds throughout the year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
