Fernkloof - Indigenous plant nursery

Fernkloof Indigenous Nursery Photograph by Christine Wakfer Waterfall in nursery

This small but special nursery started out nearly 20 years ago as an annual Easter plant sale at which members of the Hermanus Botanical Society contributed indigenous plants nurtured in their own gardens for the year and took them back again if unsold. Then, as now, the aim was to introduce gardeners to the joys of "growing indigenous", particularly for the coastal area of Hermanus with its wild winds and poor soil.

It has succeeded beyond all expectations, as customers come from far and near to visit and buy and chat about their gardens. Jack Bold is now its innovative manager, whose enthusiasm and hard work can be seen in the rocky waterfall feature he created around which a pristine extended plant area flourishes.
Varieties range from protea, erica, restio families to clivias, trees and ground covers at competitive prices. During the Easter weekend and the annual spring wildflower festival the nursery is open all day, every day. At other times of the year it is open all day 8-4pm and from 9-1 on Saturdays and public holidays.
All Botanical Society members get 10% discount.
