Benguela Cove Wine Estate warmly invites the public to a special conservation event at their picturesque location on R43, Hermanus, on Friday, 23 August 2024, from 10:30 to 11:30 am. This engaging session, led by the Botanical Society of South Africa’s Plant Committee, aims to deepen community understanding and involvement in the conservation of the unique flora and fauna of the Western Cape.
At this complimentary event, Dr. Martina Treurnicht, the Conservation Manager, alongside Cherise Viljoen, a Master Horticulturist from Cherish Plants, will discuss the vital conservation efforts undertaken by the Society. They will also provide practical tips on employing climate-smart gardening techniques using indigenous plants to help maintain local biodiversity.
Following the conservation talk, guests have the option to participate in a guided nature walk, ideal for both adults and children. This walk is a perfect opportunity to explore the estate’s diverse ecosystems with expert guidance. For those wishing to extend their visit, a pre-bookable lunch at the estate’s Moody Lagoon restaurant is also available.
Guests will also get to enjoy a variety of tasters, with an indigenous plant theme, including tantalizing indigenous fruit jams and fynbos honey on fresh scones. Additionally, each attendee will receive a complimentary gift, adding a tangible keepsake to the educational experience.
With only 30 seats available, early reservations are strongly recommended to avoid disappointment. This event is set to be an enriching day for all plant lovers and conservation enthusiasts.
