Very nice selection of herbs. Bought myself a marjoram plant. Still going strong. Going back for some pots with nice decorative patterns soon. They will definitely see me again

Thank you
Had a great experience on 27/08/25. We traveled all the way from Sasolburg for the Grow to eat festival and had a chat to one of the owners and received such valuable and expert advice. What a wonderful experience. Definitely will be back especially for the Honey and bee festival in October. By the way the prices we noticed are extremely keen.

Nice to visit and my dogs enjoy every moment with us there. They are also treated with the same service levels as their customers. Don't even have to ask for water, they just bring the water.

Great experience Saturday, last of the month, with markets on display with a broad variety of foods and craft. I was especially impressed with the organic veggie stall. The restaurant serves a great cream cappuccino. Loved the variety of plants to purchase and safe parking . Thank you

This place was amazing. It’s very clean, with a great selection of almost everything you can imagine—from fresh produce to beautiful flowers and more. I was especially impressed when I saw a ghost pepper plant boasting over 42 peppers at an unbelievable price that I simply couldn’t resist. The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. Overall, it’s a must-visit destination for anyone who loves variety, quality, and top-notch service.

Beautiful nursery, large variety of plants, accessories and bird baths/water features. The bee hive is quite interesting to look at within the indoor plant section. Ask for a loyalty card to accumulate points on every purchase.
