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

Mother's Day Plant Sale

______________________________________________

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 💚
