Glorious spring show returns to Botha’s Hill
The Lifestyle & Garden Spring Show returns to Upper Highway this weekend with plants, décor, classic cars and free Rickshaw bus tours.
THE glorious Lifestyle & Garden Spring Show returns to the Vuleka Conference Centre in Botha’s Hill on September 5 and 6, supported by 1000 Hills Tourism, to highlight a myriad outdoor living, gardening, décor, hobby and plant exhibits.
A selection of growers, nurseries, retailers, garden product suppliers, manufacturers, and landscapers have been invited to showcase their wares and services catering to those with tiny green spaces, patios, window boxes or indoor gardens, to those with larger properties and farm to fork, and those promoting water-wise gardens.
Home exhibits include a selection of statement art, stained glass and metal-framed gates and entryways, ideas to create circular features and fire pits from old bricks, bespoke garden benches, budget-friendly greenhouses, and garden drainage and watering systems.

In addition to the focus on creating beautiful gardens, there will be elements of complementary lifestyle exhibits, including a selection of classic cars from Sunchasers Club from Pietermaritzburg. In between browsing, visitors are invited to enjoy some refreshments in the tea garden – there will be a coffee wagon, snacks, meals, and teatime treats for sale.
1000 Hills Tourism has partnered with the Lifestyle & Garden Show to assist in marketing the event, to be held once more at the spacious and accessible grounds of the tranquil Vuleka Conference Centre – a stone’s throw away from 1000 Hills Chef School and Pot and Kettle.
