Garies is situated in the Northern
Cape in South
Africa. In 1845, Garies sprang up on land given to the Dutch Reformed Church
by the owner of the farm Goedeverwagting.
Originally
named after the farm, its present name, a Khoisan word meaning "coach-grass",
was given it by former Cape premier John X Merriman. A flood of visitors descends
upon Garies during the flower season.
