The sign for the South African Garden was attached to the fence dividing the sidewalk from the plant exhibits. That sign read in part: "The level of diversity of plant life in South Africa is among the greatest in the world. In San Francisco we are fortunate to have the climatic conditions necessary to grow plants from this biodiversity hotspot."
