Significance
The Grahamstown Botanical Gardens Cemetery is a small but historically significant military and civilian burial ground dating from 1819 to 1822.
The earliest grave is that of Captain Robert Gethin, who died on 3 February 1819.
The inscriptions on the remaining headstones range from relatively clear to unreadable because of weathering and the growth of lichen on them
