Head to the stunning Fernkloof Nature Reserve for a show worth seeing
this spring
The Hermanus Botanical Society and Whale Coast Conservation
host the annual Hermanus Flower and Eco Fair at the spectacular Fernkloof
Nature Reserve. Here the pick of the Whale Coast floral beauty is displayed
against the mountain backdrop.
Since 2011 is the International Year of Forests, the main
theme of the display will be a mini-Afromontane forest, complete with
waterfall. Whale Coast Conservation (formerly Overstrand Conservation
Foundation) will be on hand to show how we can all help to conserve the fynbos
habitat along the Whale Coast to ensure that the wonders of this hotspot of
floral biodiversity continue to thrive.
Fernkloof is perfect for picnics and informal fun for little
ones, while the 60 km of easy walking trails offer ample opportunities for
hikers to explore the fynbos-clad mountains overlooking Hermanus.
Indigenous plants will be on sale along with tasty teatime
treats and lunches. A new innovation this year is that the trees and other
bagged plants on display may be purchased at a special reduced price for
collection when the show closes on Sunday afternoon. There is ample parking
outside the reserve with a free shuttle service to the gate.
Venue: Fernkloof Nature Reserve, Hermanus
Admission: adults R30, children free, Thursday seniors R20
