BUCO’s brand-new nursery
Oops-a-daisy!
Plants are truly the unsung heroes of our existence. They bring us
joy and happiness, whether it’s from a beautiful flower grown from
seed or fruit trees that have been nurtured and carefully tended.
A leading name in hardware and decor,
BUCO Nelspruit has added a brand-new
nursery to its establishment. Your onestop
shop for all your planting needs,
from spades, garden forks and trowels
to compost, fertiliser and potting soil, all
the plants are locally sourced in a bid to
support the local community. Available
from the nursery for R50 each, there is a
wide variety from which to choose and
BUCO nursery expert Tinus Pretorius is on
hand to offer any suggestions and advice
you may need, from equipment to type
of plant and correct care. An added
bonus is that while you are browsing
through the nursery, you can have your
car washed.
There are a number of ways to
showcase your fruit trees, herbs or
flowers, and one of the easiest and
most attractive is the ubiquitous
flower box. Always a winning idea,
flower boxes can be transported,
and always look nice in a courtyard,
stoep or garden setting. There are a
variety of options, from purpose (a
kitchen garden outside the back door,
overflowing with parsley, fragrant
thyme and lavender) to size, a beautiful
lemon or orange tree on the terrace
or an abundance of vibrant, colourful
blooms to brighten up the backyard.
Building your own flower box is also a
rewarding and satisfying undertaking,
and it won’t cost the earth.
