Property practitioner, Ria de Wet said they wanted to make a tangible contribution to the community they operate within. “The traffic circle is a highly visible public space, and maintaining it allows us to enhance road safety, improve aesthetics, and foster pride within the neighbourhood.”
“By adopting a traffic circle and transforming it into an indigenous garden, we are investing in the neighbourhood’s long-term well-being, not just its appearance,” said business developer, Soné Janson.
The traffic circle is filled with indigenous plants planted by Grounded Landscaping, and will regularly be watered by private security company, Beagle Watch’s environmental team.
