One thing one generally doesn’t expect to spot when entering a shopping mall is a vegetable patch, full of green, leafy edible plants – let alone a “Living Wall” of them. But that’s exactly what you will see at Constantia Village this week… and you can plant your own seedling to boot!

I love being part of the Cape Town CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) project.

And there’s a new one all set up for spring!
