WITH Winter upon us, the aloes and succulents all come into their own and special shrubs show off their flowers for the bees, butterflies and birds.

Drummond Conservancy’s Winter edition of the Drummond indigenous plant fair will be held on Saturday, May 30 from 09:00 to 14:00 at 3 Duiker Drive, Drummond.

This has become a firm favourite in most upper highway gardener’s timetables with a massive range of good quality, beautiful indigenous plants sourced directly from local wholesalers at great prices.

One of the organisers, Cherie Barrett, said they are excited to always hunt for something unusual and have managed to find a few gems that haven’t been seen commercially in ages.

“Come and join us for some fresh country air and stay to have some bacon and egg buns, tea and homemade cake in the garden or wors rolls for lunch while treating yourself to barista coffee, craft beer or Gand T on tap.

“We provide a delicious selection of locally sourced fresh produce at our farm tables as an added bonus.”

Proceeds generated help Drummond Conservancy in the constant fight against alien vegetation invasion, education campaigns and litter collections in the suburb to keep their village neat and clean.

Due to the massive roadworks on the N3, Barrett advised motorists to take a leisurely trip up Old Main Road, through Botha’s Hill and then onto Drummond where they will find sign boards leading to the fair.

Entry is free.
