AFTER a long gap, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Drummond Conservancy will once again host its indigenous plant sale on Saturday, 29 May at 3 Duiker Drive from 9am to 2pm.
The plant sale will offer a huge range of beautiful indigenous plants and trees and there will also be local experts on hand that will offer advice on the plants available and the best practices to eradicate invasive alien plants (IAP’s).
Drummond Conservancy is registered with Conservancies KZN and has been in operation for more than 20 years. Its purpose is to encourage residents to be pro-active in caring for the local environment and the eradication of IAP’s, and to replace them with appropriate indigenous flora.
