Feed me and see a lot more
IF you are familiar with the stage production The Little Shop of Horrors, then the idea of a carnivorous plant could sound rather scary indeed.

Making magic from rubbish
WHAT some have labelled unwanted rubbish has been cleverly re-invented in the garden of Nelson Mandela Bay resident Trudie Wegner, who has transformed her Richmond Hill garden into a wonderland of colour, concept and texture. |

RARE blue duikers, puff-adders, and monkeys – not to mention rich and diverse birdlife – are just some of the residents sharing campus space with students at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU). The harmonious integration between nature and the built environment – unique among South African universities – is largely a result of 26 years of meticulous landscape planning and implementation by head of horticultural services John Elliott, 57, who is retiring this year. |

Bay indigenous garden an eye-catching blaze of colour
WITH the 2010 World Cup just around the corner, Nelson Mandela Bay garden enthusiast Samantha Hume believes we all need “to put our best foot forward” to promote and market the Bay and the rest of the country. To this end, Hume and her husband, Fred, of Charlo, developed an indigenous garden of blazing colours outside their well-known butchery last year. |

Magnificent riot of colour salutes spring (video)
