HAPPY BY NATURE is welbekend vir hulle fokus op inheemse plante en die verskeidenheid daarvan, wat hulle by hulle kwekery in Kloofnekweg in Kaapstad beskikbaar het.

Hulle is werklik waardige opvolgers vir die vorige eienaars van Kirstenbosch Garden Centre - Specialist Indigenous Plant Nursery .

Gaan maak gerus 'n draai. Ek was by hulle opedag in Oktober en was baie opgewonde oor wat ek gesien het 🌱

This week even Prince William had a taste of our local wild food by chef Kobus van der Merwe from the world famous, Wolfgat *, Paternoster. I found this on their page:
While chef Kobus van der Merwe of Wolfgat was serving roosterkoek and soutslaai to Prince William on Thursday, his friend and collaborator Johannes Richter of The LivingRoom at Summerhill was accepting a world culinary award in Dubai. Next they’ll be serving up a collaboration on the West Coast.

*As you will know, Wolfgat has been cooking with local wild food for many years and has received multiple international awards

Hierdie tyd van die jaar is baie besig vir enige tuinier. Maar vat gerus 'n bietjie af, haal bietjie asem en besoek 'n paar tuine waar jy inspirasie kan kry vir jou eie tuin. Die beste plek om te leer oor plante en tuinmaak is by ander tuin- en plantmense en hulle tuine.

Tanya Visser van The Gardener Magazine het 'n paar terug hierdie wonderlike tydskrif oor oop tuine en ander tuinevents begin en dit maak dit gerieflik maklik om op datum te bly van wat in jou omgewing en elders in die land in die tuinwêreld gebeur. Maak seker jy bly op hoogte. Druk net die knoppie en teken in:

Stellenbosch Garden Town raak elke jaar net groter en beter. Stellenbosch het soveel mooi tuine wat mense kan besigtig en wat in elk geval al vir jare elke jaar vir 'n naweek of twee vir die publiek oop is, maar hierdie viering van tuine, plante, die natuur, tuiniers, tuin- en plantliefhebbers is heeltemal in 'n klas van sy eie. Ek kan net sien hoe hierdie jaarlikse event nog kan en gáán groei. Hierdie installasie van Pieter Coelyn op die Meulplein is 'n absolute meesterstuk en verg beslis meer as net 'n kyk in die verbyry. Doen die moeite om uit jou kar te klim en dit uit alle hoeke te bekyk. Baie geluk Pieter en Langverwacht

Chelsea Flowers in Stanford
21 September - 6 Oktober 2024

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve net buite Stanford in die Overstrand, is een van die groot borge van Suid-Afrika se inskrywing by vanjaar se Chelsea Flower Show. Hulle span saam met Leon Kluge wat die uitstalling ontwerp het, en in beheer was vir die installasie, om dit te herbou in Stanford en vir 'n paar dae, dit plaaslik weer uit te stal.

As dubbeldoor bonus, word SA se ander trippelbekroonde wêreldkampioen in die blomwêreld, Daleen Roodt wat ook deur die Royal Horticultural Society kort na Chelsea Flower Show as Best Botanical Artist bekroon is, se kuns terselfdertyd in dieselfde lokaal, in Stanford uitgestal

*Indien jy die nuus oor Daleen Roodt se fenomenale prestasie misgeloop het, hier is die skakel om jou op hoogte te bring:

We received the following Media Statement from the Grootbos Foundation regarding the Chelsea Flowers in Stanford from 21 September - 6 October 2024

The thrill of South Africa winning a World Cup in any sport buoys up the nation and builds pride. It was the same when South Africa won a Gold Medal at the Chelsea Flower Show this year, lifting the spirits of South Africans as much as our Rugby World Cup win did!

The beautifully designed display of our nation’s stunning proteas achieved not only a Gold Medal but also the coveted Best in the Pavilion and the Best New Design awards. Leon Kluge designed the stand and with the help of a hard-working team and private donations, showcased the spectacular Cape fynbos in a unique layout, breathtaking for its creativity, array of flowers and heady fynbos scent which filled the Pavilion. Now, Leon Kluge is building the fynbos display again…this time, for South Africans.

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve (one of the sponsors of the South African display at Chelsea) and Leon Kluge have decided to bring the glorious floral design home to South Africa so that everyone can experience the uniqueness of the display garden and the triple-award win from the most prestigious garden show in the world.

Leon and his team will build an exact replica of the winning design, in full size as it was built in the Chelsea Pavilion for South Africans to visit on their home turf.Grootbos and Leon are thrilled to be able to share the beauty of fynbos with the people who are its natural custodians. Just as the Springboks did a Victory Tour when they returned home to South Africa and shared the Webb Ellis trophy with the nation, this perfect replica floral display is for locals to share the victory of fynbos.

Overstrand Executive Mayor, Dr Annelie Rabie, is the patron of this home-grown exhibit called Chelsea Flowers in Stanford.

She is incredibly proud to announce that, “thanks to the exuberance and long-term efforts of Grootbos to champion fynbos, the very best of the world-renowned RHS Chelsea Flower Show is coming to Stanford! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Overstrand and is sure to be a resounding success.” Mayor Rabie looks forward to welcoming visitors to the village of Stanford.

Chelsea Flowers in Stanford will open to the public between 21 September - 6 October 2024 in the village of Stanford close to the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve.

The full-sized 100 square metre floral display will be replicated so that local South Africans can enjoy the full experience.

120 illustrations and vignettes from the Grootbos Florilegium, a private collection of fynbos botanical artworks, will also be on display in the venue along with Grootbos Florilegium books.

Following South Africa’s win at Chelsea, local Grootbos Florilegium artist, Daleen Roodt, won a Gold Medal, Best Botanical Artwork and the People’s Choice Award at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Botanical Art and Photography Show held in the Saatchi Gallery in June. Daleen‘s winning artworks will also be a part of the display in Stanford.

Chelsea Flowers in Stanford is a celebratory event that brings the exhilaration and glamour of the Chelsea Flower Show to home soil. Attending the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London is abucket-list dream for many, and now you are invited to see this grandeur in your own backyard!

Fresh produce shelves will be empty

Bees are critical in our food production. Today is . Spend some time to give it a thought of how bee friendly is your garden.

International studies and research by SANBI showed that populations of bees (the most important polinators for plants, read: food) are seriously under threat. Which means fresh produce shelves will be empty without bees if we don't urgently do something to protect and encourage them.

Look out for a workshop in your area on the importance of bees in the garden, how to attract them and how to host them. Or consult a bee expert or your local nursery.

To bee or not to bee is not (even) the question anymore...
