INDIGENOUS PLANT SALES

INDIGENOUS PLANT SALES at “THE GIANTS CUP CAFÉ”

We purchased this property from Mokhotlong Mountain Transport in 1996, and ever since have been working hard to rehabilitate it. We found it covered in bramble, wattle and pine. Over the years, we have propagated our own seedlings of a wide variety of indigenous trees, shrubs and other plants, pushed back the “aliens” and replanted with indigenous. This has been a very successful project, with our property now “water-wise” and our gardens beautiful. We have even created “forest patches”. In recent years, a number of people asked whether we could sell them certain species, and so we decided to expand our propagation and started selling indigenous plants to the public. This has now grown to point where we have built a special greenhouse attached to the Giants Cup Café where over 60 species of indigenous tree, shrub, bulb, succulent, groundcover and creeper are sold. In addition, we have put tree names and plant labels up for over 100 specimens, meaning that you can wander through our gardens and see what mature and flowering specimens look like before you decide.
