This is the second year that we decided to end of Heritage Week with a Sunday picnic & music in the garden.  Thank you to everyone that joined us, I really hope you had a wonderful day and somehow experienced the spirit of South Africa with me.

A special thank you the the Radio Kalahari Orkes for once again joining us and spoiling us with your amazing talents.

Happy Heritage Day X 

Afro-Boer introduces team member Thabo Shanga - he carries a certain African Heritage with him, and he has had a lot of journey on many small footpaths… The first day I worked a hard shift with Thabo I went to check if he was still alive - knowing how the onslaught of a sudden change of slow to busy-without-end environment in an establishment can annihilate all your senses and thi...

So we must feed the bees!

The days are already much warmer, and slowly we are saying goodbye to Winter.  But the rain will not be here for another few weeks, and the majority of plants and trees have still not started to bloom yet.

What can you do to help?

1. Head over to the nursery and find some plantlings that is already flowering...
