Plant sale 2019

This year again we are all busy potting up plants. Some made wreaths and macrame hangers. We have a few delicious goodies and books…… Come and look!

 

 

Sally’s Constantia garden

The view from this garden of the back of table mountain is simple spectacular but the  garden is so interesting that  the eye is constantly  being drawn back to the garden itself!

A vast terraced lawn for the children to play on gives way to a carpet of interlinking  rectangles of  shrubs, predominantly of  fynbos,   through which you can wander on a raised board walk. There is also a child’s dream  play area (sadly not to be used by visiting children but you will get some wonderful ideas for your own garden from it)  and a forest of young indigenous trees, water features  as well as a formal vegetable garden  which supplies the family and an orchard

 

Sue’s garden – and our coffee / tea venue

Amanda’s garden

This is the garden to go to first if there are plants you are after- as this is where we are holding our PLANT SALE –

CALANDRINA

 

But do allow time to wander around the rest of her garden as it is so cool  and has the most wonderful restful and relaxing feel to it. This is due in part to the unusual colour of the walls of the house and boundary. It is also surrounded by trees growing on the pavement which  enclose it and  help give it atmosphere. Amanda has managed to  garden amazingly well under their shade and copes with their  roots!

Although green and grey predominate there are  pops of colour with each season and  its so interesting to see what has survived – and even flourished in our drought as she  only put in a borehole recently.

Angela’s small suburban garden

Angela’s small,  lawn-less garden is an inspiration to  all who see it.  It is planted up mainly with indigenous plants and an wonderful selection of colourful succulents.

Some parts of the garden  are totally  reliant on rain,  others are watered with  rain water collected from the roof, and a small patch with  washing machine and shower water.   She has  propagates many of the plants herself,  grows her own vegetables and has a working beehive.
