Meet our 2024 Friends of Garden Day

Garden Day is the perfect time for South Africans to put away their tools and celebrate their gardens and green spaces, for the mental and physical benefits they give us all year long. Each year, we invite different Friends of Garden Day to come on board to celebrate the day in their own special way and to encourage others to do the same.
