Manchester Farm, near Mutare

What is Manchester today?

Farm in the Vumba Botanical Gardens and Reserve.

Origins

Established by Mr F J Taylor in 1926, later becoming a National Park in 1958. In 1960 the name of the Park and Gardens was changed to Vumba Botanical Garden. There is some discrepancy as to whether or not the original farm (as opposed to the Park and Gardens) is still known as Manchester.
