THIS year the Botanical Society has been invited to hold its annual indigenous plant fair with eThekwini’s Sustainable Living Exhibition at Durban Exhibition Centre.
This event will run from Friday, 22 August through to Sunday, 24 August, allowing the public to enjoy both of these valuable exhibitions over a single weekend.
Supporting exhibitors of the plant fair will be located inside the exhibition hall, while the outside will host the amazing range of indigenous plants, with plant experts on hand to assist the public.
Those purchasing lots of plants will be able to drive in and collect their plants from the secure holding bays. Trolleys and assistance will be available.
The theme is ‘gardening naturally’ and the plant fair is going back to basics. The Indigenous Gardening Handbook is about natural fertilisers, natural pest control, plants for shady slopes or for hot, dry areas, groundcovers as a mulch, designing complete habitats, and crassula plants that attract beautiful butterflies, and more articles.
Entry is free, and only parking is charged for. Refreshments will be available over the three days.
Many plant displays, interesting speakers and environmental movies will be flighted throughout the weekend and a double dose of exhibitors will ensure that this fabulous, combined event is one not to be missed.
