Check it out

At the end of a long, hot day Botanical Society volunteers are still working hard at the tills, checking out people's purchases of indigenous plants. The Kirstenbosch Plant Fair is an annual fundraising event organized by the Botanical Society and staffed by volunteers from the society and the staff of Kirstenbosch garden. When it opens on Saturday morning, there is a stampede to get to the rare and scarce indigenous plants on sale.
