PRESS RELEASE VERSION:

The Rest Nature Estate steps up to support Arbour Week

September is just around the corner and residents of The Rest Nature Estate in Nelspruit are enjoying the first signs of spring. With over 20,000 indigenous trees and shrubs planted throughout the Estate over the past three months, the lush forest-like vegetation is drawing new bird and animal life to the beautifully landscaped 320-hectare eco development.

As part of its ongoing indigenous tree planting initiatives, The Rest will once again be hosting a landscaping stall at Curro Nelspruit’s highly anticipated Spring Festival and Food Fair, to be held on Saturday, September5. The festival is Curro’s annual fundraising highlight, drawing over 3000 visitors.

The Rest Nature Estate will be providing a selection of 300 indigenous trees, which will be available for purchase at cost, from the landscaping stall. Ten varieties have been specifically selected for their fast growth and ability to attract birdlife. Residents, parents and visitors will be able to purchase their favourites at a fantastic wholesale price of R300 per 50-litre tree. The remaining, unsold trees will be donated to The Rest and planted around the Estate.

“Our Arbor Week initiative was a tremendous success last year,” says Alec Bates of The Rest Nature Estate. “Almost 300 trees were planted throughout the Estate and Curro School. We have once again secured fantastic nursery wholesale prices for those who would like to purchase trees – for their own properties or for the school.”

Trees available for purchase this year include Aloe Barberae (Tree aloe), Celtis Africana (White stinkwood), Erythrina Lysistemon (Common coral tree), Ficus Ingens (Red-leaved fig), Lannea Schweinfurthii(False Marula), Olea Africana (Wild olive), Rhus Lancea (Karee), Syzygium Cordatum (Waterbessie), Tabernaemontana Elegans (Toad tree) and Vepris Lanceolata (White iron tree).

Visitors to the fair will also be treated to an assortment of carnival games, rides and activities, along with numerous food stalls, crafts, home-made sweet treats and more. Music lovers are invited to enjoy the sounds of Jakkie Louw and Kevin Leo, who will kick off the festival at 6pm on Friday, September4.
