- W1786133586 abstract "Flower sellers have traded in Trafalgar Place and along Adderley Street in central Cape Town since at least the mid-1880s. From the beginning of the Twentieth Century to this day the flower market has been referred to as an essential part of Cape Town, and the flower sellers as representatives of its inhabitants. Nonetheless, not much is known about the history of the market and the people involved in the trade. The flower market is a popular tourist destination but no storyboard exists to inform people about the exceptional history of the market, and unlike the colonial monuments in Adderley Street the marble fountain standing at the end of Trafalgar Place has deteriorated substantially. Flower selling is often referred to as an 'old tradition' and it is thereby ignored that the women and men involved in the trade have also actively made their business possible, often under difficult circumstances. The Adderley Street flower market is one of few places in the inner city of Cape Town where black business people have operated independently for over a century. Being largely excluded from careers in botany and horticulture during apartheid, flower farming and selling were occupations in which black people successfully made a living by working with flowers. Many of them are very knowledgeable in plant matters and flower farmers like Moses Jaftha from Constantia have worked independently on the conservation of garden flower species. Much like debates about nature conservation and access to natural resources, the disputes about flowers and the regulation of their trade were never apolitical, but much influenced by the distribution of power at the time." @default.
