This World Water Day will take place under unprecedented circumstances. Usually, 22 March is a time to meet face-to-face and discuss how to tackle water and sanitation challenges but with the coronavirus pandemic, many of us have had to change our plans.
This World Water Day, let us focus on responsibility, safety and solidarity. Everyone has a role to play.
How to stay safe
We want to make sure you are safe on World Water Day and have created a dedicated space where you can find advice on what to do if your event is still taking place or if it is cancelled or postponed.
Hop onto www.worldwaterday.org/ to see events or activities that you can participate in.
If you still have a plant order through the Water Smart Program at our Bush Garden Nursery, please collect it before the May 4th deadline. After this date your order in no longer valid.

Revegetation is all about the rehabilitation of a native plant community from a degraded to a healthy state.
