Fabulous Friday

Every Friday, we at Revoici, would like to feature something which appeals to us by virtue of its general fabulousness.  It could be a place, a person, a product – anything that takes our fancy, inspires us and feeds our creative muse.

For our first Fabulous Friday feature, we thought we’d share a little gem of a place we discovered this week.  Since we’re all about passion, creativity and nature, we simply loved visiting The Nature Company and feel it is our moral duty to spread the word!

Situated near the lush green surrounds of the Kloof Nature Reserve, The Nature Company is a peaceful refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.  It’s contemporary, without being pretentious and you get the feeling that this is someone’s passion – a lifelong dream perhaps, that has finally come to fruition.

Clearly a lot of thought went into the design and layout of this “nursery nouveau”.  The pathways, plants and central feature garden all work together to create a visually pleasing experience.  There is an interesting selection of plants which have been laid out attractively, with a new “discovery” around each corner.  Just look at this stunning clivia we found! 

Some colourful seedling trays accompany a good selection of veggie and herb seedlings – broccoli, rocket, green pepper and cauliflower, to name but a few. 

A delightful outdoor café provides a restful spot to sit and take in the picturesque surroundings, with an intriguing menu ensuring you will not go hungry.  Friendly, efficient service combined with scrumptious food and excellent coffee makes for an entirely enjoyable experience.

There is also a lovely selection of plant pots in an array of designs and sizes.  We found this adorable terracotta set for only R20!  Needless to say, we were all over THAT bargain like a fat kid on a glazed doughnut!  We think these will make lovely little gifts (especially with Christmas looming - *jingle jingle*).

Now, we are not terracotta connoisseurs by any means, but even we know a good price when we see it.  Double checking in case there had been some kind of mistake (that’s just the kind of honest girls we are) we were humourously told “Charity begins at the Nature Company”. Quite fitting really, as nature gives of herself freely, without exploitation or thought of reward.  

It's not charity, but if you’re looking for value for money, quality merchandise, good food, a friendly atmosphere (with a passion for nature on the side), then it really does begin at the Nature Company.  And we think that's simply fabulous.

You can find The Nature Company at 102 Kloof Falls Road, Kloof or online at https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Nature-Company/170073899721430
