About the GardenThis is a mature 1 ½ acres of garden having been laid out back in the mid 20th century. The more recent focus has been on blue and white planting with splashes of colour from the rose garden. There is a historical link to the Inanda Club because one of the Founders lived in the house
The garden is a mixture of formality and under tree planting with winding paths where fairies could dwell.
 Come and experience the hospitality of The Johannesburg Garden Club members.
