CELEBRATING GARDENS

Most of the year we plant, water, weed and mulch. Garden Day, on 15 October, is a time to toss down your spade, invite family and friends round and celebrate your hard work. It’s a day intended to unite South Africans through our common enjoyment of gardening and the outdoors. From a potted back yard to an urban farm or the tiniest balcony hung with geraniums, it represents the appreciation of our very own versions of a planted paradise.
