Coastal Indigenous Plant Fair at Beachwood Mangrove Nature Reserve
Coastal Indigenous Plant Fair at Beachwood Mangrove Nature Reserve
Join us at Durbanâs longest running plant fair, the BotSoc KZN Coastal Indigenous Plant Fair, on the weekend of 3 and 4 September 2022 from 09:00 to 16:00 both days, and get all the plants you need to freshen up your garden this spring.
Held at Beachwood Mangroves Nature Reserve on the northern side of the Mgeni River mouth (across the River from Blue Lagoon), we look forward to hosting this event after a three-year break.
We have a selection of local nurseries that have been tending to an array of indigenous plants in anticipation of this yearâs Fair. This large selection is offered to you at excellent prices, and your involvement supports our BotSoc plant conservation projects.
By planting native plants and trees in your space, you can help to join little corridors of life together, for pollinators and other critters to move through. And in so doing, youâre supporting Mother Earthâs natural processes. Donât miss this chance to choose those indigenous plants that will create a garden, balcony or flower box thatâs quite simply humming with life.
Experts will be on hand to assist. Informative books, Indigenous Gardening Handbooks, and posters of Plants to Attract Birds, Bees or Butterflies will be for sale. 2022 Trees of the Year will be available. North Durban Honorary Officers from Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife will lead guided walks through the mangroves. Wildlife and conservation exhibitors will have information tables. Food and refreshments for sale will complete the experience.
Entrance is R10 for adults and R5 for children. Access and secure parking is off Riverside Road, Durban North.
