The theme for this year’s Festival “Fynbos 4 U” offers the opportunity to celebrate the many ways in which fynbos adds a sense of enjoyment to our lives, be this experiencing the natural environment first hand or enjoying the products derived from fynbos. Most exiting of all, will be the central floral display in the Hall which is designed and will be constructed by the award-winning design team for the SA exhibit at the Chelsea Flower Show, Leon Kluge and Tristan Woudberg.  There will talks, demonstrations and workshops that speak to the decorative, cosmetic, medicinal, gastronomical and other ways in which we appreciate fynbos and the sale of interesting environmental items from stands in the Market Hub marquee.  Visitors will be able to interact with the Raptors and Owls from Eagle Encounters and there will also be snake-handling skills demonstrated by Hugo and Corné Uys.  Fynbos gin as a product that is all the rage will be available for tasting and with it the natural cordials of Blue Bee.  The Fynbos Café will offer delicious teas and light lunches with local wine and craft beer on the grass outside the Hall with finger-foods available for those who would prefer to eat on the move.  Make sure you visit the Festival for a fun-filled day and support the work of Hermanus Botanical Society in Fernkloof Nature reserve.

There will also be a very special display designed by Leon Kluge who will talk on
preparing the SA entry to the Chelsea Flower Show
