Garden Day SA – 2nd Sunday in October

Intro – Garden Day SA – 2nd Sunday in October

Garden Day South Africa is celebrated on the 2nd Sunday in October and people are encouraged to celebrate their gardens and green spaces with family, friends and pets.

People are actively encouraged to celebrate Garden Day with pets as well as they are considered an integral part of the family and garden traditions. 

The movement encourages people to include their “four-legged friends” by making them flower crowns or collars and sharing photos on social media with the hashtag #GardenDaySA. 

Including pets aligns with the day’s focus on connecting with nature and appreciating the joy and calm that both plants and animals bring. 

Ways to celebrate Garden Day

• Create a flower crown: Crafting a floral headpiece is a well-known tradition associated with Garden Day.
• Host a garden party: Gather friends and family for a get-together, picnic or festive meal in your garden.
• Visit a public garden: Numerous botanical gardens and parks host special events and are a popular destination for the day. For example, the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden and other venues will hold events.
• Attend a workshop or tour: Participate in flower-pressing workshops, open garden tours, or guided nature walks offered at various locations.
• Share on social media: Use the hashtag #GardenDaySA to share photos of your celebrations and reconnect with nature.
