The bird life in Hogsback and surrounding areas can be very interesting and varied. The seasons are well represented with the different migrants coming in and the birds leaving the forests for the gardens and vice versa.
Hogsback has a fair share of ‘specials’ viz. Cape Parrot, Bush Blackcap, Knysna Woodpecker and White Starred Robin.
Some Hogsback gardens can boast over 90 different species of birds.
Built in 1995 by Diana Graham, this beautiful place is imbued with a sense of homage.
The approach to the Eco-Shrine begins with a long, leafy tunnel of Hazelnut trees that opens into a spacious, park-like garden. The visitor’s eye is soon drawn to a 6 meter high tree sculpture Diana Graham carved from the remains of a redwood tree that had been struck by lightning.
Over the years it has become one of the major tourist attractions in the area. Diana says that it seems to generate a life of its own with meditations, concerts, weddings, art exhibitions, etc. Diana also runs environmental art workshops for scholars.
