liters and a total weight of 206.28 kilograms.
Conclusion
I would like to thank Lampie Schoeman for making
the huge container, providing the fantastic trees as
well as Rita Schoeman and her hospitality on the day.
Without Lampie this project would not have been
possible.
Thanks to all the enthusiastic members of Kat Rivier
Kai that helped to create this remarkable planting.
I hope Mr. Thomas Baines is aware of this small
happening!
I would also like to mention Dr. Sarah Venter who
has done her PhD research on Baobabs. Our meeting
at the Sagole baobab inspired me to learn about and
appreciate this fantastic species more.
