What was previously merely a hobby and a passion has turned into a fully-fledged wholesale nursery for Hilton and Liza Atherstone from Tzaneen, Limpopo.
Clivias:
From humble beginnings, they have bred and developed their extensive Clivia collection and have produced many award winning plants, winning the Northern (Pretoria) Clivia Show three years in succession and still have the record for the most awards at a single show in Pretoria. A bonus was winning the 2006 SA National Clivia Show hosted by the Northern Clivia Society. Their beautiful garden is the breeding ground for their landscape nursery and the commercial Clivia stock.
Plants are continuously upgraded in the garden and plantation areas to provide quality seed and plants for the nursery. Many Clivia enthusiasts have commented that they would only dare display such beautiful Clivias in their shade houses. The Clivia plantation has also rapidly expanded, providing quality plants for landscaping and nursery purposes. During flowering season, the Clivia in the garden and plantation aeas look spectacular !
