Water wise and beautiful. Credit: Melkbos.net

Is your garden looking sad and drab due to the drought? Does it even still resemble a garden? Don’t despair. Melkbosstrand’s Namib Garden Cactus Nursery is a fine example of water wise gardening. It’s in full bloom at the moment, and the shapes, textures and palette of colours prove that this is the way to go in times of drought. For lovers of things exotic there are treats, like the plant that blooms for only about one day.
