1000 Hills Tourism brings you The Lifestyle & Garden Show at the Vuleka Conference Centre in Botha’s Hill on the weekend of October 25-26. The immersive show highlights a myriad outdoor living ideals and includes gardening, pets and even car exhibits.
A selection of growers; nurseries; retailers; garden product suppliers; manufacturers; landscapers; and those involved in the garden industry have been invited to showcase their wares and services. They cater for everyone from 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 addition to the focus on creating beautiful gardens, there will elements of complementary lifestyle exhibits – such as a fleet of magnificent vintage, classic and collectable cars – all part of the Distinguished Gentlemen’s Club collective – promoting men’s health ahead of their annual Movember campaign. As well as the gorgeous old vehicles, there are some brand new cars and bikes on show.
