Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Company's Garden is the oldest garden in South Africa, a park and heritage site located in central Cape Town. The garden was originally created in the 1650s by the region's first European settlers and provided fertile ground to grow fresh produce to replenish ships rounding the Cape. It is watered from the Molteno Dam, which uses water from the springs on the lower slopes of Table Mountain.

Summary from Afrikaans / Afrikaans Wikipedia (afwiki)


Die Kompanjiestuin in die sentrum van Kaapstad is die oudste openbare tuin in Suid-Afrika. Dit is amptelik in 1652 deur Hollandse settelaars gestig met die doel om voedsel te lewer, maar is 160 jaar gelede aan die publiek vir vrye besoek oopgestel. Bykomend tot die rusbanke onder die reuse bome, sluit die Kompanjiestuin se besienswaardige bates verskeie histories en botanies waardevolle bome, 'n roostuin, 'n kruietuin, 'n visdam, 'n voëlhok, en 'n teehuis in. Van historiese belang is die Dellville Wood-gedenktuin, wat die lewensverlies van duisende Suid-Afrikaanse soldate gedurende die Eerste Wêreldoorlog in Frankryk herdenk. Die Kompanjiestuin is 'n gewilde oord waar opvoedkundige en kulturele gebeurtenisse gehou word en staan ook bekend as 'n bestemming waar troufoto's geneem word.

Summary from Nederlands / Dutch Wikipedia (nlwiki)

De Company's Garden (Afrikaans: Kompanjiestuin) is een park in het centrum van Kaapstad in Zuid-Afrika. In 1650 werd het park als tuin ingericht door de eerste Europese kolonisten en zorgde voor vruchtbare grond om verse producten te laten groeien waarmee de voorraden van VOC-schepen die de Kaap rondzeilden aan werden gevuld. De tuin wordt gevoed vanuit de Moltenodam, waarbij het water afkomstig is van de lagere hellingen van de Tafelberg.
