Soil for Life is about 'growing'. Growing food, growing people and growing communities. In order to 'grow' more, we are inviting you to join us on an exciting journey.
Read MoreIn early May, a busload of Soil For Life members and other interested parties went on a special tour of selected home food gardens, and community food garden enterprises around Cape Town.

Feed the Soil: Compost Making and Natural fertilisers
Western Cape soils, especially in the Cape Town region, are not amongst the most fertile. Sadly, we are very used to just get some fertiliser from the shops, not realising the destructiveness of such products. Learn how to take care of the soil – and thereby yourself – the natural way.
This popular workshop has been extended from two hours to a day-long event which will provide comprehensive hands-on methods to turn your soil into black gold.
Contact us to find out more, or to book a place.
Did you know that we offer a great selection of organic seedlings and seasonal fresh vegetables from our site off Brounger Road, Constantia?
Also take home some delicious and unusual chutneys and jams, made using our produce from our home gardens.
It was not the first time that Soil for Life staff attended the annual awards ceremony. Many Soil for Life supported garden projects were nominated in previous years. The Touws River project already won an award in 2003.
Last year, Soil for Life itself, for the first time, was called on stage as a nominee for the urban agriculture category. And we won!
Thank you Cape Town for your support. We are beyond ourselves. Follow the links on the right to read original newspaper articles or visit the Cape Times for more details here.
