 Hogsback

Here's a look at how our little guys are doing just three weeks after planting. We have moved them into a temporary nursery where they will keep growing until a new home is made for them!












DaZel nursery – (Sedgefield)

There’s a really cute nursery just down the road from us where a sweet woman named Hannetjie keeps her succulents as sweet and happy as can be. She has a really great variety of rare cacti and can tell you anything you wish to know about any of them. Feast your eyes...
























terra-khaya eco backpackers (hogsback)

Between 2010 and 2011 Jeff spent several months high up in Hogsback at Terra-Khaya, tendering to vegetable gardens and looking after horses. Here are some photos-
