If plants make you do a little jig of joy then a visit to Happy Space on Kloof Nek Road definitely needs to be on your to-do list. Happy Space is a shared, collaborative space that aims at promoting human and animal wellbeing, using plants.

There’s a small nursery in the back garden with indigenous plants and herbs, and you’ll find the most stunning indoor plants, baskets and pots from Plantify. You can also visit Plantify’s online shop if you’re further afield. They do nation wide delivery in SA and believe me, you will be tempted.

Also on offer are herbal teas and essentials oils as well as herbal remedies and toys to keep your pets happy all created by Happy by nature. My cats love the hemp catnip toys! Happy Space serves as a pick-up point for Wild Organics, a great local organic food box scheme and runs workshops from time to time so keep an eye on their Instagram feed for updates. 

Now also open on Saturdays from 9 till 1, so pop in and explore.
