Maegan-Leigh JacobsThe annual Noordhoek Open Gardens, presented by On the Verge in collaboration with Noordhoek Tourism, offers an invitation to meander through the gardens of private residences.
This year’s event, set for the weekend of 21 and 22 October, promises a peek into 20 gardens, each with its own personality and charm.
Visitors can look forward to an array of outdoor attractions, including bonsai-tending demonstrations, vegetable gardens, spaces designated for indigenous plants, meticulously manicured lawns, and intimate garden nooks.
Some gardens welcome visitors on both days of the event, while others will be open for just a single day.
Upon securing a ticket, attendees will be supplied with a comprehensive map and brochure that provide a brief about each homeowner and offer a glimpse of what awaits behind their gates. A single entry can also be purchased upon visiting each garden.
Collection details for these brochures will be provided by getting in touch via the contact details listed below.
