Tips and tricks for you

Get growing this month

Whether you're planting your first tree or giving your garden a fresh look, we’re here to help. At African Trees, we believe gardening should be rewarding and simple — in every season.

Start by considering your space: sunlight, soil type, and how you want to use the area. Indigenous plants are a smart choice — they’re adapted to local conditions, need less water, and attract birds and pollinators.

Create balance by layering trees, shrubs, and ground covers, and use elements like pots, pebbles and stepping stones to add structure. Healthy soil is key, so enrich it with compost or mulch to boost growth and retain moisture.

Want to mix things up? Try herbs, veggie seedlings or even a carnivorous plant for something fun. And if you’re unsure, our friendly team is always happy to help you choose the right plants for your garden.

"This is an amazing tree nursery with indigenous trees. The gent growing the trees has such passion for his plants and is very willing to teach you about them. I found a couple of trees I have never been able to find at any other nursery here."
