2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity. Let’s reflect on our achievements to safeguard biodiversity and focus on the urgency of our challenge for the future. Now is the time to act.
2010 HANDBOOK NOW AVAILABLE
The 2010 Handbook takes its theme from the UN’s International Year of Biodiversity and is crammed full of practical ways in which we can all make a positive contribution by preserving, promoting and planting South Africa’s indigenous flora in our gardens, our homes, our schools, our cities and our souls.
The Handbook contains an extensive catalogue of indigenous plants – aloes, bulbs, trees, shrubs, ferns, climbers, groundcovers, grasses and succulents – with descriptions and advice on growing conditions and special features. More than 750 species of indigenous plants will be available at the Fair and wise gardeners will make sure they have their Handbook in hand to enable them to make the most of this floral bonanza.
Many of the horticulturists, botanists, landscapers, nursery proprietors, conservationists and top gardeners who contribute articles can generally also be found at the Fair as ‘plant experts’ advising customers or displaying books and other resources. Customers can thus enjoy access to an inspiring synergistic network of local environmental knowledge in the flesh and in print.
