Ewanrigg Botanical Garden

Ewanrigg Botanical Garden is noted for its wide collection of indigenous and exotic plants and owes its origin to the late Mr. Harold Basil Christian. Mr. Christian came to the then Rhodesia in 1914 as a farmer. He later turned his attention to botany and horticulture.

Ewanrigg has now become one of the largest aloe and cycad gardens in the world. Popular activities here are garden viewing - aloe viewing is ideal from May to September when the aloes are in bloom; wintertime bird watching - aloes and cycads attract a wide variety of bird species. When in bloom, aloes and cycads become a special fascination for the sunbird. Photographers also love to visit these gardens which are also a favourite for picnicking. Visitors can go on guided and unguided walks.
