Gardens for Life is 2 years old now! It has been an epic journey with many gardening experiments, videos and harvests. A big thanks to all of our followers for of your encouragement. We always enjoy hearing that we’ve helped others to start their own gardens and turned to more natural approaches resulting in a low maintenance abundance. For our anniversary we have something special for you.

We enjoy growing lots of plants in our little backyard nursery. We use these to expand our gardens and we donate some to various projects and community gardens. Luckily we have a surplus and we would like to offer our audience great value plants as well as give you the opportunity to support us. Proceeds will go towards expanding the nursery next year and to build our Walipini, a 12 month warm greenhouse most useful for growing unusual subtropical plants.

Nearly all of our plants are perennial, lots of them are edible and even medicinal, a few are very rare too. You can select 10 +2 free plants to suit your needs under the green arrow. Scroll down further to see pictures of each individual plant. They come in good quality 1 liter containers with a strong root system and a label ready to plant. More details below.
