HAENERTSBURG – Some are in hanging pots and others are supported on wooden slatted planks painted in pastels. Pathways wind in and out, allowing for the major festival traffic. The bill is a white plastic spoon, embedded in the container with the price marked in black, and one can present this bill at the hotel reception to pay.
The beginnings of this quaint nursery went through traumatic times before getting off the ground. Liz left radiography and the big city life behind to build an off-the-grid home on a family farm. With plants as her passion, she saw it fit to open her own nursery. However, ill health and crippling fibromyalgia followed and she endured major surgery.
With tenacity and a fixed smile on her lips, Liz has worked through the various challenges and turned her nursery into a viable business.
She is quite happy about the space and feet allocated at Busy Lizzys’ Petals. The nursery has a variety of plants with pastel coloured markers such as herbs, easy growing indigenous seasonal shrubs, seedlings and ornamentals.
If she is not kept busy with the day-to-day requirements of the nursery, she is at home tending to the growth of the next batch of seeds, cuttings and seedlings. The hotel staff are however always available to assist.
