Health and sustainability are connected
As we explore what nourishes us, we become more connected to the land, our homes, and to the things that have nourished people for millennia. And maybe we become less likely to be seduced to consume random stuff we don't need to fill the void.
Growing your own food and medicine
We want to make it easy for you start growing and learning about food and medicinal plants.
Getting practical: How do I integrate medicinal and edible plants into my space?
Medicinal Bundle: A set of ten medicinal plants.
Many of you have said you’d love to grow medicinal plants and herbs, but are not sure where to start.
This 10-plant bundle is a great start. The plants will vary from month to month, but they’ll always be extra good value, and they’ll always be labelled with details on how the plant is traditionally used. Nothing says “I love you” than a bundle of plants.
You could even volunteer to plant them for a friend as a housewarming gift. If you have kids, it could be a great conversation starter and a way to encounter smells and textures. Even better, many medicinals are super easy to grow.
Give us a few days notice, and we will hand write labels on each plant.
Seasonal Seedlings and fruit trees
We have vegetable seedlings sold as plugs for as little as R3, so you can get going with your growing easily and affordably.
We also sell fruit trees. After nine years of growing (and sometimes failing at growing), we know what fruit trees can grow successfully locally, and we're experienced growers of fruit trees.
People's plants and Medicinal Plants of South Africa
We have some copies of our two favourite books focused on Medicinal plants. You can buy via our shop, as part of a bundle or as a standalone gift for friends and family.
