The Fynbos and Food Festival Photographs

posted to: Photos of South Africa, Western Cape

The Fynbos and Food Festival took place on Family Day, Monday 25 April at the Good Hope Nursery near Cape Point. The nurs­ery spe­cial­izes in indi­gen­ous plants and the staff, full of expert garden­ing advice were on hand to give tips and assist­ance. Lines of garden­ers (both bud­ding enthu­si­asts and keen garden­ers alike) waited patiently for a few minutes of time with the pro­fes­sion­als who poin­ted out plants and shrubs for sale around the nurs­ery. Stalls sold a selec­tion of pan­cakes, fresh bread, ginger beer and cup­cakes while live enter­tain­ment kept vis­it­ors tap­ping their toes as they enjoyed a refresh­ment in the tea garden or wandered the nursery.

Good Hope Nursery — at which we do a succulent walk, almost have tea and find rare plants

Good Hope Nursery

This is a gor­geous part of Cape Town. In fact, it hardly feels like Cape Town at all and in a sense it isn't, if you con­sider that it's right on the pen­in­su­lar and as far from the City Bowl as you can get and still be some­where close to a sub­urb. Not that those who live in Scarborough con­sider their vil­lage a suburb.

Good Hope Nursery isn't just any nurs­ery. Kudos to this crowd who have been around for the past 20 years at least – they lead the way in indi­gen­ous plants. Kirstenbosch get their plants from here, as does Table Mountain National Park, which says a lot in my book. And since my bet­ter half is a rather ser­i­ous ama­teur hor­ti­cul­tur­ist, stop we must. Besides which, our sprog is already unbuck­ling his seat belt to get at the children's play area right next to the little car park area. Continued

Good Hope Nursery have over 1000 indi­gen­ous spe­cies on their  data base, ran­ging from local fyn­bos to sub trop­ical trees, and the major­ity of these are grown at the nurs­ery under harsh Cape Point weather con­di­tions which ensures that they are resi­li­ent enough to grow in any garden ...
