Tokara invites the public to enjoy a day at the Rare Plant Fair and Open Garden on Saturday October 26, which this year forms part of the Stellenbosch Garden Town Festival from Friday October 25 to Sunday November 3.
Visitors will get the chance to once again experience Tokara as this Stellenbosch family wine and olive estate opens its private farm garden to the public. The annual Rare Plant Fair features exhibitors from far and wide, presenting an opportunity for gardening enthusiasts to acquire rare and exotic plants.
Cultivate your own spring retreat from a diverse selection of indigenous and exotic flora sold on the day or stroll through garden paths adorned with sculptures by local artists.
This year highlights include terraces of the picking garden, serene wetlands, a textural cork oak forest, and a mountain stream flowing into lily ponds. Visitors will get to explore the ever evolving Adamastor Moss Garden with guided tours conducted throughout the day by moss garden expert Gert van Tonder and his team.
This year you can also pre-order The Rare Fare Picnic Box for two from the Tokara Delicatessen available at R495 for adults and R150 for children and can be ordered via email at projects@tokara.com before October 23.
The Tokara Rare Plant Fair and Open Garden is open from 8am to 4pm. Entry is R100 per vehicle, payable at the gate on the day. The Tokara Tasting Lounge, Restaurant, and Delicatessen will be open as usual on Saturday. For more information, visit www.rareplantfair.co.za or email info@rareplantfair.co.za.
