Kirstenbosch Annual Garden Fair and Plant Sale

5 & 6 May 2012

The Kirstenbosch Branch of the Botanical Society’s 37th annual Garden Fair and plant sale will be held on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 May 2012 at the Stone Cottages, on the corner of Rhodes and Kirstenbosch Drives, opposite the main entrance to Kirstenbosch Gardens.

This annual fundraising event supports Kirstenbosch development projects and is a showcase for South Africa’s indigenous flora especially grown to offer gardeners a unique opportunity to acquire a wide range (some 500+ species) of trees, Proteas, shrubs, Buchus, herbaceous perennials, succulents, Ericas, Restios, bulbs, Cycads, etc. and other rare and unusual plants for collectors.

Succulents and Geophytes/Bulbs will be the theme around which the Demonstration Garden will be designed and set up by Kirstenbosch horticulturists who will be on hand throughout the Fair to offer advice and assistance.

Exhibitors will offer garden-related products and services, refreshments will be available at the Tea Garden under the oak trees, and there will be musical performances on both days of the Fair.

Please remember to bring your own wheelbarrow and carrier bags!

The catalogue of plants on sale will be available to purchase from 20 April from the Botanical Society Bookshops at both the Visitors’ and Garden Centres, Kirstenbosch Gardens, and from the Kirstenbosch Branch office in Stone Cottage 1 in Kirstenbosch Drive.

Entrance: R5 for Kirstenbosch Partnership Fund (children under 12 free).

Community Chest Western Cape is acknowledged for their generous support of this annual event.
