Get ready for Garden Day!
Down tools, invite neighbours, friends and family round, wear a flower crown and celebrate your garden together this Garden Day.
Garden day will be taking place on 20 October and there has been a call to action to down tools, invite neighbours, friends and family round, wear a flower crown and celebrate your garden together.
According to Marni Venter, a communications strategist for Marvello and Mill, Garden Day is an altruistic movement looking to connect South Africans through their common love of gardening.
“The most important thing to note about Garden Day is that it is for everyone, whether you’re a beginner gardener, young, old, have a rolling lawn or are an indoor plant parent.
“If you aren’t already a self-confessed plant mom or dad why not give it a go? It’s good for you, it’s good for your home and it’s good for the planet. Perhaps you need a trial run, the chance to play around in someone else’s green space. And you can do all that on Garden Day.”
Ready … steady … grow!

Garden Day was proudly created by Candide, a gardening app that connects gardeners with fellow plant lovers, public gardens and plant nurseries, with the aim of kick-starting a movement to unite all South Africans. The app, which features an extensive knowledge base of plants, plant identification and growing tips, aspires to be the BFF of choice for gardeners everywhere.
