Garden Gate

Garden Gate separates itself through understanding subtropical KZN gardening rather than treating all South African growing conditions the same. A competent nursery here recognises that humid coastal conditions, summer rainfall patterns, and afternoon sun intensity in Durban differ radically from Highveld or winter-rainfall regions. Staff who can discuss which plants handle salt spray, which perennials thrive in heat and humidity without constant watering, and what actually survives here without babying are what matters. They'll know the difference between a plant that theoretically suits KZN on paper and one that genuinely performs in Durban gardens. Sourcing local cultivars adapted to these specific conditions separates operations that understand their market from those ordering generic ranges nationwide.
