The first Grahamstown Flower Festival last year was a wonderful event that attracted support from all sectors of the community, with visitors from surrounding towns like Port Elizabeth, East London, Humansdorp, Uitenhage, Port Alfred and Bathurst joining locals to create a friendly and vibrant atmosphere in the Makana Botanical Gardens.

The organisers are hard at work planning this year’s event, which will again offer a weekend packed with horticultural, botanical and environmental interest and education for the whole family.
