The Sunbird Aloes home nursery in Randburg will have an open day again this year - on Saturday 17 June from 09h00 to 16h00 – first come, first served. On this day the usual wholesale minimum of 10 plants does not apply and anyone is welcome to browse through the nursery and pick out aloes for their garden.

The open day is preceded by an Open Week during which you can reserve a time for your visit and thus be assured of our full attention. This facility is popular with people who prefer to avoid the crowd on Saturday. Open Week time slots are 08h00, 09h30, 11h00, 14h00 and 15h30 every day from Monday to Friday 12 to 16 June. Call Leo on 082 824 6604 to reserve your time.

Witkoppen Wildflower Nursery

To give gardeners the opportunity to obtain some of the autumn flowering aloe cultivars that will have finished flowering by the June open day, Witkoppen Wildflower Nursery will have an Early Bird Aloe Weekend on 5,6 and 7 May.

They will have another Aloe Weekend on 28, 29 and 30 June. This is the best time to catch the late winter flowering aloes that will not yet be in flower in time for the Sunbird Aloes open day. The good news is that we will be holding prices at last year's levels.

Lowlands Nursery, East London

Sue Burden (+27 84 462 2393), of Lowlands Nursery is the Sunbird Aloes grower in Kei Road near East London. Sue and Ian Burden joined the Sunbird Aloes family in 2011 and they now grow a large selection of Sunbird Aloes cultivars. Their wholesale nursery lies on a farm off the N6 between East London and Stutterheim and is well worth a visit in the colder months when the aloes flower.

Sue says there are a number of sites around East London where her Sunbird Aloes plantings are due to entertain all passers-by. You can also arrange a visit to the nursery on the farm, or look for Sue at the Avalon Market near Kidds Beach every first Sunday of the month. She will always have something you have not seen before.
