A large meadow garden
Inspired by Piet Oudolf and encouraged by Pietman Diener we planted this unstructured meadow garden never realising the astonishing energy hidden in the smallest seeds. Within one year we were rewarded with a marvellous array of grasses, perennials, annuals and shrubs. The massing of plants as we intended for the garden was quickly rearranged by the wind, resulting in an impetuous display of plants as nature intended.
Norbert has a small nursery in the garden from which visitors would be able to buy plants at R30 or R50 per plant. Please bring the correct cash amounts along, since change might be a problem.
Note: No pets. Partial wheelchair accessibility. Maximum 20 visitors at a time.
Disclaimer: Ticket holders visit the gardens and attend events entirely at their own risk. The organisers, hosts and garden owners accept no liability for any loss, damage, injury or illness, however caused, except where the law does not allow this to be excluded. Right of admission reserved: hosts may refuse entry or ask visitors to leave on reasonable grounds, such as unsafe or disruptive behaviour, and no refund will be given in that case. Please wear suitable shoes, supervise children and follow the hosts’ instructions.
