The Friends of Meadowridge Common have published a set of four greeting cards to raise funds for the maintenance and rehabilitation of Meadowridge Common.
The cards feature paintings by botanical artist, Olwen Gibson, of four flowers that occur on the common: Pelargonium triste, Pelargonium cucullatum, Salvia chamelaeagnea and Wachendorfia paniculata. A pack of four cards costs R50 but Friends of Meadowridge Common only pay R40. Olwen Gibson is a member of the Botanical Artists Association of Southern Africa (BAASA) and is becoming quite well known for her meticulous and beautiful water colour paintings of our indigenous flora.
Your purchase will go towards the care of Meadowridge Common, which is a priceless remnant of the endangered vegetation type, Cape Flats Sand Fynbos. The Friends are a group of local residents who identified this precious remnant and made sure that it was added to the number of nature areas within the City of Cape Town’s biodiversity network.
