The Plaasmol Nursery at Hopefield town.

What a sight, and we have never seen such a nursery before. Not only for plants, but also for animals. So come and join us at our visit to this West Coast nursery and it's not what you expect to see.

We took a long walk through the nursery, and I have taken about +50 photos, as it is situated on a large plot. So many sights to see and we only had an hour. But then it lasted for 2 hours, as I found something right at the back boundary of the nursery. There where only a few people have gone. I recently spoke to a friend and he told me that they also visited the nursery on their way to another town, When I told him what I found he couldn't believe it and I sent him the photos. But I digress, as you will also see the photos in another post.
For now, let's take a walk to view the sights.

I could see his smile and I read his thoughts. Hello my friend, come pat me so that I can give you a friendly bite. I promise that it will not be sore.
I have heard too many dentists say that to me :)

As usual my wife did her own thing as we walked through the place.

Ever seen such a friendly pumpkin?

Wha! A little Marmoset monkey let out a scream to the heavens.

He popped down to inspect a succulent leaf.

Yep! I think that was his lunch!

Ladybug Nursery
The Ladybug nursery is a small plant nursery, run by the Plaasmol family, right next to the farmstall and restaurant. We are an independent nursery that sells seasonal plants, and our friendly, helpful staff can provide visitors with constructive help and advice.
We do not specialize in any plants at the nursery, as we try to have as broad a range on offer as we can, all sourced as locally as possible. Our plant selection includes ornamental and fruit trees, perennials, shrubs, roses, climbers, vegetable and salad seedlings, herbs, and seasonal bedding.
We are constantly adding new stock from several suppliers, but if there is anything that you might want that we have not got, we would be more than happy to try and source it for you! We also stock manure and compost in 30-liter bags.

A pair of old Leopard tortoises, and the one at the front gave me a look.

Howz this for an imagination? As a truck pinned that figure to a tree.

I have to stop here, as this post is getting too long.

We were told that they also have animal petting tours for the children of visitors, and I think that a child will have a blast here.
I am also only a big kid, and if I enjoyed it anyone can. As people are so different, each one of us has our own ways, likes, and dislikes and one cannot please all, but one can certainly draw others that have familiar interests. I have encountered a few of such here on Hive, and thankfully we enjoy each other's company.
I might do another post on Plaasmol, but first I will do the post with the surprise that I found here.

I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and the story.
If you ever travel to the West Coast of South Africa, then don't forget to stop at the Plaasmol nursery.
