For anyone interested in starting a new hobby, there is a lot to choose from at the local nursery.
The beauty of orchids is celebrated with the Orchid Society's annual open weekend. This will feature a display of flowering orchids, an orchid re-potting service, a variety of orchids and related products and talks on orchid culture.
This included a presentation on how to grow and flower phalaenopsis - or butterfly/moth orchids.
For those interested in the art of Bonsai, there was a display of Bonsai trees and free Bonsai training demonstration.
The East Cape Koi Keepers Society also held a koi auction, followed by a free presentation on the basics of koi keeping, where visitors can find out more about pond filtration, how to choose koi and how to diagnose sick koi.
Visitors also found out more about the fascinating world of bromeliads from members of the East London Bromeliad Society.
All of these societies have the common goal of promoting interest in the hobby, offering advice and encouraging membership.
