Friday 24 – Sunday 26 October 2025
Beautiful gardens, all with their own character, will be open to view in the Helderberg area. Tickets are available for purchase from www.helderberghospice.org.za/shop or from Helderberg Hospice at 21, Old Stellenbosch Road, Somerset West.
Come to the Helderberg Hospice first to get maps and enjoy our garden as your first stop, then continue to the other gardens on show.
The Helderberg Hospice Open Gardens boasts approximately 15 gardens in and around the Helderberg (Somerset West, Western Cape) that will be open to the public in October 2022 to benefit Helderberg Hospice. Many of the gardens will be offering tea and eats, or you can make a stop at our recommended tea and lunch stops. There is food for the soul in all the gardens; come and relish the beauty of the gardens that grow in the shadow of the Helderberg, drink in the views and be revived by the peace of a place shared by others who care, not only for their plants, but also for the patients of Helderberg Hospice.
