Upcoming Open Garden: Sat 31 Oct & Sun 1 Nov: Created by artist and landscaper Carol Sacke and her husband Kevin, this extraordinary garden is a deeply personal expression of creativity, love and remembrance. Set on a former orange farm, it has evolved over the past nine years into a remarkable collection of beautifully designed garden rooms, each with its own distinct atmosphere, style and story.

Every inch of the garden speaks to Carol’s creative touch, with ‘garden rooms’ styled like canvases. Discover formal gardens alongside indigenous plantings, country cottage borders, whimsical spaces, a Japanese-inspired section, an enchanting fairy garden, a ‘golfer's green’ and even playful Champagne and Cadbury themed areas. Each ‘room’ has been thoughtfully designed as a living work of art, reflecting Carol's boundless imagination and artistic vision.

A gentle river winds through the property, complemented by seven unique water features that attract abundant birdlife and create a tranquil soundtrack throughout the garden. Visitors can also explore the Kelli Belli Gallery, showcasing Carol's artwork, and enjoy the opportunity to meet the artist herself.

At the heart of the garden lies Kelli's Garden, a moving tribute to Carol and Kevin's late daughter, making this a place of beauty, reflection and hope. A tea garden and on-site nursery complete the experience, while all proceeds from the Open Garden will support CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa and Carol's dedicated gardener, ensuring every visit leaves a lasting impact.
