You spend your days perfecting your garden, adding just the right amount of water to make your plants grow. A touch of love here, a sprinkle of sunshine there. But now it’s time to put down your tools and celebrate the beauty of the green paradise before your eyes.
Garden Day SA is a chance for all South Africans to enjoy their green spaces. Some might use it as an area to meditate, others a place to entertain – and regardless of the size of your wonderland, everyone is welcome.
What you do on Sunday, October 17 is completely left up to you! The most important thing is to head outdoors, wear your flower crown with pride and say hello to the beauty of spring with a garden celebration. Think tea parties, summer dresses and lawn games – go full Alice in Wonderland if you will!
Enjoy a selection of visuals on the Garden Day website that’ll give you the inspiration you need as it leads up to the special occasion, or have a look at the awesome events lined up:
