GOOD HOPE NURSERY – Cape Point
Good Hope Nursery was established a quarter of a century ago in Hout Bay, and moved to its present location over the road from Cape Point Nature Reserve, Cape Town, South Africa in 1986.
Our fantastic fynbos experience includes an indigenous retail nursery, a farmstall, a fynbos ecolodge accomodation, a playground for children, fynbos walks, quarterly events, even landscaping and garden design. We also wholesale to other nurseries including Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and Table Mountain National Parks.
We have have over 1000 indigenous species on our data base, ranging from local fynbos to sub tropical trees, and the majority of these are grown at the nursery under harsh Cape Point weather conditions which ensures that they are resilient enough to grow in any garden!
I (farmwifeworkerbusybeemotherloverbakercandlestickmaker) am married to Taskmaster and have one child KingofthePlayground age 4 and pregnant with no 2. Extended family include Pollox, Cody & Lani the dogs, Nootnoot & Leira the Cats, 25 crazy chickens, Jackson the billygoat, The Two baby goats, 4 ducks, Patches the Shetland pony, Owner lady, Owner man, Sister 1 and Sister 2, Sister in law and many friends-and-relations.
In this blog I hope to share experiences, moments and information found here with you!!!
I would love for you to comment….cant wait!

Woohoo! Loved the blog, Miss farmwifeworkerbusybeemotherloverbakercandlestickmaker. Well done. We’re coming to visit over Easter and I am taking that cake recipe back to Australia with me and I hope there might be a slice of that cake in the tea garden – or one of those cup cakes. Yummy. The ecolodge looks divine.
I met you and kngofthePlayground when he was strapped to your front!
Thank you! Gosh remember when he was that small…he is half my size now…yay see you over Easter then! We will be having a big Fynbos Family Day event on April 5th – maybe you can join us then? I will post more info on the event this week. xx
Good to see the blog – and pictures too……I remember King of the playgrounds Dad when he was that size – in fact, somewhere, I have a photo of him climbing a tree and he looks just the same!
I also remember King of the playground’s grandpa – first met him in his teens, well before he met Gael and of course Collie and Fi featured significantly in my upbringing.
So I spring up from the distant past!
One day, I will come and try your lovely cakes, they becon me from the UK as does the smell of the Fynbos…..
Till we meet, I will continue to dream of Cape Point and the view from Collies bench on his mountain.
Sending love from afar to all at GHN.

Hi –
We visited your gorgeous Tea Garden one Sunday two weeks ago, and were so entranced by the magic of your place, that I wrote a little blog post about it. If you’re interested, please have a look here: http://namibsands.wordpress.com/2011/02/11/a-scrumptious-apple-blossom-cupcake-at-the-most-enchanting-tea-garden-in-the-deepest-south/.
We are definitely coming back for another visit.
I am attempting to find some Helichrysum umbraculigerum or “wooly umbrellas” seeds in the USA or to be shipped here. Any suggestions?
thanks,
Matt
