Gardening guru wins merit award
JJ received a Merit Award from the Green Industry (SANA) for dedication to and support of the green industry.
With his enthusiastic personality, his passion for nature and especially his knowledge of plants, it was easy to see that JJ Jansen van Rensburg would go far.
He enjoys assisting clients and providing advice. He has also, of his own initiative, taught the farm workers at Garden World, where he works, to read and write.
Quite comfortable in front of the camera, he has been a guest on many TV programmes such as Top Billing, Espresso, 50/50, Ontbytsake, Tuine & Tossels and many more. He also writes gardening articles for Tuis/ Home as well as the Garden World Newsletter, thereby sharing his passion with consumers.
He can also be heard on Radio RSG where he and Derrich Gardner share their horticultural knowledge with listeners across the country.
His book, Elke seisoen is jou beste seisoen, has developed from his love for plants, gardeners and listeners on Radio RSG and he is currently working on his second book, which focuses on vegetables.
As a result of all this, JJ received a Merit Award from the Green Industry (SANA) for dedication to and support of the green industry over a number of years. Through this award, which he received on 7 June, they thanked him for teaching and inspiring consumers to love gardening.
