Herbert Baker: Groenkloof's most important contribution

[edit]

It's important to note that the original page heading picture is possibly taken from a view from Herbert Baker street and not actually of Groenkloof it would be more appropriate as a picture of the neighboring suburb Lucas Rand of which it IS a picture off. I have moved it to the gallery because it can add "some" value in the form of showing the views of the city that make this a popular suburb.

The unique white Jacarandas are only in Herbert Baker street in the country. These Jacarandas are albino Jacaranda trees given to the Pretoria municipality by the Calafornia government in the 1950s. Herbert Baker street is the only street in the country with these Jacarandas and this makes Groenkloof a tourist attraction with a lot of tourist buses coming to see Herbert Baker street specifically. A header picture showing the White Jacarandas, Herbert Baker Street and one of the many luxury cars in the neigbourhood is appropriate. --Deanerasmus2006 (talk) 19:22, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
