Meet The Horticulturalist

Joe De Wet

My Story…

One of my earliest memories in life is me water the garden whilst still in my nappies. Nature is where I found myself whole and at peace.

I then decided that I would prefer to spend my days outside. I remember how I use to climb trees and build tree forts as a child and those memories will always be with me. I wanted to continue this lifestyle and decided to become an extensive indigenous tree producer.

I built a nursery in the beautiful valley of Susterstroom, just 30km outside of Bronkhorstspruit on the Wilge River. I now have a total of 5 years’ experience in producing indigenous plants. My favourite tree is the Coral tree, I love the vibrant red colour of the flowers and I appreciate that often wildlife will reside in this tree species making it even more attractive to me.
