BLACKWOOD’S GARDEN TALKS 2019:
Thursday, March 14th
Thursday, July 18th
Thursday, November 14th
Whether you are an avid gardener, or haven’t yet tried out your green fingers, the Blackwood’s Garden Talks have something for every level of gardener. Our host, Gerald Schofield delivers highly informative, greatly entertaining garden talks on a variety of seasonal and local gardening topics.
Our garden talks are held at the Hilton Protea Hotel (1 Hilton Avenue, Hilton, Pietermaritzburg). The talks start at 9:30am with tea and coffee on arrival. Besides the delivery of great gardening information, the day also holds much fun in the form of a small auction of plants, where the proceeds are donated to our Charity of choice. There’s also lots of give-aways and prizes plus a R100 Blackwood’s voucher for every guest.
