May Plant Sale at the Nature Reserve Unit! 

Join us for our monthly May Plant Sale on Friday, 23 May 2025, at the UWC Nature Reserve Unit (Nursery) from 08:00 to 15:00. Conveniently located near the West Link entrance off Robert Sobukwe Road, right next to the security gate. 

Winter Garden Preparation Tip: 

As the colder months approach, protect your garden beds by mulching, planting groundcovers, and composting. Spread compost over the soil, no digging! Micro-organisms will naturally work it in, enriching your garden without disturbing the earth. Just remember to keep thick layers away from plant stems to avoid rot. Composting twice a year is key!

Seasonal picks:

• Arum Lilies are now available on the stand—perfect for the cooler months!
• Plectranthus shrubs are marked down as they need pruning to thrive next year.
• Artemisia afra is back by popular demand
• New in stock: Haemanthus for only R30!
• Herbs: Sage, Coriander 

Please note: Sales are cash only

We look forward to seeing you there as you find the perfect plants for your garden!  

Thank you for your support

As we celebrate Mother's Day, “Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” — Marcel Proust

A mother is not defined by biology alone. Mother figures come in many forms—an aunt, a sister, a godmother, a stepmom, or even a mother-in-law. What matters is the love, support, and care they give. This special day is the perfect time to show your appreciation for the remarkable women who have made a difference in your life.

Happy Mother's Day 💚
