Team effort

We were so privileged to celebrate National Garden Day in our “private paradise” in the heart of Johannesburg on 15 October 2017. It certainly wouldn’t have been possible without the joyful dedication of two very special people from Soweto who enrich our lives every day: Bornwell Mdluli works his creative magic in our garden, and the enthusiastic Nomsa Ncube runs our household smoothly and often helps to bring the garden into our home. Heaven, Henry David Thoreau said, is under our feet as well as over our heads.
