Looking for a roommate that never complains, rarely gets thirsty and always looks stunning? Vetplante are a pretty good match. ๐Ÿ˜‰

We call them โ€œfat plantsโ€ for a reason - their plump leaves and stems are built to store water, making them wonderfully well adapted to drier conditions.

They love soaking up the sun, need very little fuss and come in an almost endless variety of shapes, textures and colours.

Take the beautiful stone-rose Echeveria, for example. Its powdery, waxy coating helps protect it from the Free State sunโ€™s intense UV rays. Right alongside, youโ€™ll find the much-loved Jade Plant, a sturdy, tree-like succulent traditionally associated with good luck. And then thereโ€™s our indigenous Spekboom, a remarkable little plant known for its incredible ability to absorb and store carbon (it's so healthy to have them around!) ๐Ÿซ

Whether youโ€™re starting your very first plant collection or adding to your jungle, it's always a good idea to have these outjies around.

Whatโ€™s your favourite vetplant? ๐Ÿƒ

Om jou tuin vir ander oop te maak, is so โ€™n wonderlike geskenk - om mense in te nooi om te kom kyk, rond te stap en vir โ€™n rukkie deel te wees van iets wat vir jou kosbaar is.

Dit is presies wat agter ๐“๐š๐ง๐ข๐š ๐ฌ๐ž ๐Ž๐จ๐ฉ ๐“๐ฎ๐ข๐ง lรช, en wat gebeur het toe sy ons genooi het om haar lieflike tuin buite Wesselsbron te kom kyk...

Dit is โ€™n pragtige Vrystaatse plaastuin met โ€™n indrukwekkende versameling rose wat binnekort al hoe meer in blom gaan wees. Daar is rustige hoekies en gaatjies om te sit en lees, wye oop grasperke, paadjies om te verken, en natuurlik baie plante en idees om jou te inspireer.

Hier is wat jy moet weet:

A WORLD first - and itโ€™s already at Alma! Please welcome to the floor... Agapanthus Poppinโ€™ Pinkโ„ข - the worldโ€™s first agapanthus with a fully pink flower head. ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ We have 80 available on our floor right now (R395.00 each).

For years, gardeners have been asking: when will there be a pink agapanthus? Well, its here and let us tell you, they are beautiful!

The flowers are deeeeeep pink with lighter pink and white running through the flower head. It flowers in summer, with another flush later in the season, handles heat and drought once established, and grows to about 70 cm high and 60 cm wide. It's makes for a beautiful statement plant for a patio pot.

Itโ€™s also on the cover of the Die Tuinier Tydskrif this month, and nurseries around the world are waiting for it.

It took South African plant breeders (De WET PLANT Breeders) 21 years of careful breeding to make it happen...! And now the very first batch in South Africa is available. The official launch is only on 31 October, but you can see - it's ready for the taking.

Come and see this little piece of South African horticultural history! WhatsApp us on 079 090 2106 and weโ€™ll put one aside for you. ๐ŸŒธ

A little Friday afternoon fun: turning what you already have in the garden into something new! ๐ŸŒฑ

Tjaart decided to experiment with these Buxus hedge plants that were being removed. Instead of letting them go to waste, heโ€™s potted them up and started pruning them into bonsais!

Buxus is hardy, evergreen and can handle full sun, dry conditions and cold weather - making it a great candidate for bonsai.

After the pruning, we're keeping them in our greenhouse to settle in. And then we'll follow up with another round of pruning (and then you can buy them as bonsai!) ๐Ÿชด

If youโ€™d like to start your own little bonsai project - weโ€™ve got Buxus in different sizes selling from R79 to R560.

A little reminder that sometimes you can look at whatโ€™s already growing in your garden and see its potential differently. Happy Friday, everybody and happy planting! ๐Ÿ˜€

Join us, explore, find ideas and inspiration, and spend a day among fellow gardeners with green lawns, magnificent roses & blooms, and enjoy something nice to eat or drink outside. ๐Ÿ‹ ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ

Why two Saturdays? Some of these gardens are a bit of a drive, so we've made it two separate outings: Wesselsbron on the 17th, then Welkom and Hennenman on the 24th. That leaves you time to enjoy each garden properly.

Planning to visit the farm garden near Wesselsbron? Please let us know you're coming, either by WhatsApp or by writing your name in the book at the tills at reception at Alma. It helps us and the garden owners plan for the day.

โ„น Swipe through for more about the gardens, or read more on our website: https://almakwekery.co.za/open-gardens-2026.

๐Ÿ“Specific details and addresses will be shared via Facebook and WhatsApp closer to the dates.

The rest of October brings exciting things too: Garden Day is on Sunday 18 October (did someone say flower crown? ๐ŸŒธ) and we're running a competition to celebrate our 38th birthday. More on that soon!

Get in touch if you have any questions and enjoy the rainy weather today... ๐Ÿก ๐ŸŽ
