Standing from the left are Fanele Dyantyi, Stephan Ferreira, Kyakazi Ngwendu, Achmat van der Berg, Vincent Nqumla, Thandabanthu Jack, Frans Jansen and Zami Mburu, all members of the Leeuwenhof horticultural team who participated in the recent Cape Town Flower Show that was held in the Cape Town Convention Centre.

"Taking part in the flower show was a direct result of our visit to the previous show during 2003. The team was so inspired that everyone decided to give it a bash this year," said André.

André is also very proud of the mosaic table made of pottery pieces found in the grounds at Leeuwenhof. Some of the pieces have incredible detail and may be a few hundred years old.
