Flex your green fingers at the Rand Show 2017

From 14 to 23 April 2017, JJ will be passing on gardening tips and ideas at the Rand Show greenhouse as he completes mini garden projects with visitors. Come and plant up a hanging basket, create a mini veggie container, or build your own bird feeder.

Inspire the gardener within: Plant hanging baskets and veggie containers, or make a bird feeder with Garden World’s JJ van Rensburg at the Rand Show 2017 from 14 to 23 April 2017, at Nasrec.

Enter at the greenhouse for a chance to win one of five free project kits at each session. Additional kits can be purchased for approximately R200, depending on the project, or just come along to watch and get ideas for your own garden.

Visitors can also get great show specials on a wide range of plants, from succulents, bearded irises and daylilies, to orchids, herbs, and veggies.

More than just gardening

Once the gardening’s done, there’s a top-class line-up of entertainment in store for the whole family at the Rand Show. South Africa’s biggest consumer expo is the only show to offer attractions covering everything from sport, motoring, military and science and technology, to design, animals, health and beauty and variety shows... there’s an entire day out packed into each Rand Show ticket.
