SOMETIMES public facilities can set an example. In the case of the airport in Bloemfontein I would say, avoid the food at all costs (a way overpriced, poor selection of uninteresting grub) but do check out the gardens. Just outside the arrivals hall there is some very happy, waterwise, dry climate planting. I just wish the bare patches were covered with mulch or gravel to protect the earth and so that the sand didn’t fly away when it is windy.
