Without spilling a drop of coffee, Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust Ubuntu Ground Café barista Sifiso Chamane catches a wheelbarrow ride with festival organiser, Bradley Raath, from 1000 Hills Tourism.

The Lifestyle & Garden Spring Show comes this weekend to the Vuleka Conference Centre in Botha’s Hill showcasing a myriad of outdoor living, gardening, décor, hobby and plant exhibits.

The weather forecast is good, the grass is cut, the paths are swept, and vendors are ready. A selection of growers; nurseries; retailers; garden product suppliers; manufacturers; landscapers; and those involved in the garden industry will showcase their wares and services catering to those with tiny green spaces, patios, window boxes or indoor gardens; to those with larger properties, farm to fork, and provisions to promote water-wise gardens.

In between browsing, visitors are invited to enjoy some refreshments in the tea garden - there will be a coffee wagon, snacks, meals, and teatime treats for sale.
