“Buy a tree for R 150 to be planted out in the schoolyard of Die Bron
and your tree will become part of a “schoolyard forest” which will
witness children playing under its canopy for generations to come.”

Stoep Talk June
Winter is a very special time of year in this part of the world – not only are our hills covered with carpets of colourful fynbos flowers, site but our very beautiful Walker Bay becomes a vast playground for hundreds of Southern Right Whales (the above photo was captured by African Wings just recently). Every year, around June, these magnificent creatures start to arrive, one by one, and very soon newborn calves will be frolicking, and proud parent whales will be breaching. As we head into whale season things will start to get very busy around here, so plan your escape from the city now and spend a weekend with us enjoying all we have on offer.
Stoep Talk May
After the first big rains of autumn, salve the winter flowers appear all over Stanford. It is a magical time of year where seemingly overnight the landscape changes colour. Not only are the streets lined with crimson, gold and orange as the leaves carpet the ground, but the hills themselves turn a beautiful pink as the Erica irregularis comes to bloom. This time of year is always a big surprise as the beautiful winter flowers burst forth all over, reminding us that winter is also a beautiful season!
