1000 Hills Tourism celebrates Spring Gardens.
Garden Fair 2024
Vuleka Centre, Botha’s Hill, 25 – 27 October 2024.
To celebrate spring, there will be the second annual glorious Garden Fair at Vuleka Conference Centre in Botha’s Hill on the weekend of 25 – 27 October, supported by 1000 Hills Tourism.
To plan for spring, when garden preparation starts in earnest, a selection of growers; nurseries; retailers; garden product suppliers; manufacturers; landscapers; and those involved in the garden industry have been invited to showcase their wares and services in a farm-type setting catering for those with a tiny green space, patio, window box or indoor garden; to those with larger properties and subsistence farmers. Provision will be made to promote water-wise gardens.
Garden Fair 2024 has come about after a hugely successful inaugural event held last year after numerous requests from growers and gardeners for an opportunity to showcase, buy and sell plants and products in the light of the Royal Show Grounds in PMB no longer being available for the Witness Garden Show – which was always a calendar highlight.
1000 Hills Tourism has partnered to assist in marketing the new Garden Fair to be held at the spacious and accessible grounds of the tranquil Vuleka Trust Conference Centre – a stone’s throw away from 1000 Hills Chef School and Pot and Kettle.
Understanding that now is the time to get your garden summer ready, 1000 Hills Tourism invite garden lovers to visit the Garden Fair to consider creating a plant and garden-themed self-drive 1000 Hills meander by also visiting some extensive nurseries in the Valley of 1000 hills – such as Potting Shed Garden Centre at Pot & Kettle; Ludwig’s Star Roses; MacNut Farm (especially their Sunday Fresh Produce Market); Shongweni Market; Stonehouse; Woza Moya; Pilgrim’s Rest; the Mushroom Farm; Fig Tree Farm and over the Heritage weekend while Umgeni Steam Railway is running, visit Inchanga Craft Market at Inchanga Station which has stalls selling plants.
