BELMONT FARM
BELMONT FARM

This woodland garden was established by Annetjie Moolman who has now retired to the village. Annetjie's daughter-in-law Ria, who created a beautiful garden at Glen Ross, has moved to Belmont with her husband and family. Belmont is responding fast to her boundless creative energy. Ria is one of our most ardent young rose growers. Plant sales, "Out of Wire" garden ornaments for sale. Bring your own picnic and enjoy it in the shade.

EILDON FARM
EILDON FARM
A homestead was first established here in the early 1800s so Barrie Pringle is gardening on rich sediments of history. Massed formal plantings of roses and glorious lawns are complemented by huge trees. A framed view onto the arid mountain beyond provides a striking contrast. 
Plants for sale. Teas will be served from 10am to 12 noon and 3 to 5pm, proceeds to the Christian Care Group.

LOWER CLIFTON FARM
A feast of hellebores, inviting shady nooks for meals al fresco and a clever curving design are all part of the charm of this family garden. A vast prunus is just one of the impressive trees. Glen has propagated many of her own plants

Attention to detail, a youthful imagination and a delight in the wide variety of plants she can persuade to grow are some of Griet Marais' many strengths as a gardener. Her immaculate garden is filled with interesting plants set in a clever and unconventional structure with charming garden ornaments. The vegetable garden is an inspiration.
Plants for sale. Refreshments: lemon cordial.
