■ People from all over South Africa branched out and connected with family, friends and neighbours for this year’s Garden Day, on Sunday October 21. Now in its third year, Garden Day sprouted as an idea from a group of enthusiastic gardeners who wanted to start a movement to unite South Africans by creating a day where everyone can enjoy and celebrate their gardens together. Seen sowing the seeds of ubuntu on Garden Day are, from left, UCT students Freddie George, Alice Kim and Marriette Thomson.
