We Love the Flowers that Beautify Our City

There’s something magical about the sight of jacaranda trees in bloom, painting the city in shades of purple. These beautiful flowers not only add to the aesthetic appeal of Pretoria but also symbolise renewal and growth.

Speaking of flowers, have you seen our ‘Colour My City’ project? This is one of our improvement projects that involve cleaning and revitalising various planter boxes across the city and adorning them with a stunning array of colourful flowers. These vibrant displays can be found in numerous public spaces throughout the city, including the iconic Church Square.
