Unwind at Drummond plant fair
Profits made on the day will go towards Drummond Conservancy to help in the fight against alien plants and litter.
THE annual Drummond Indigenous Plant Fair, which has become a must-visit on the gardening calendar for great plant varieties and excellent pricing, is taking place this Saturday, September 28.
It will be held at 3 Duiker Drive, Drummond, from 09:00 to 15:00.
“With the spring rains having just arrived, the birds and bees are asking for flowers to feast on. We are focusing on flowers and colour to fill the gardens over the next few months.
“There is always a large selection of succulents, too,” said one of the organisers, Cherie Barrett.
She said they source plants straight from wholesalers to give great products, and all profits go towards Drummond Conservancy to help in the fight against alien plants and litter.
On the day, people can unwind in the tea garden while soaking up the country hospitality. Breakfast and lunch will be available and a fresh produce table will be bursting with local goodies.

Entrance is free, and tea and coffee are free with every plant purchase. Zapper and Yoco are available.
Due to the construction on the N3, Barrett said people can make it a scenic drive to get to the venue and amble along Old Main Road through Botha’s Hill, past Phezulu and the Comrades wall, then turn left at 1000 Hills Hotel.
“Duiker Drive is the second road on the left, and the bridge is now fixed,” she said.
