Sharland East-Urquhart
Bishopscourt |
|
|
In the June 2011 issue of Garden
and Home I read of Sharland
East-Urquhart who lives in
Bishopscourt. She is
passionate, dedicated and has an
unconventional taste for
adventure and a love of life.
She has agreed to open her
garden and offer us tea and cake
today. |
|
|
|
Sharland and her
husband, Gavin moved
into their Cape Home 10
years ago. She had never
worked on a garden of
this scale, but had a
very clear idea of what
she wanted: the design
should have a sense of
formality, but with
softness to the
plantings within the
outlines.
|

|
|
|
Aside from the stunning
garden Sharland has an
art studio at her home
which will be very
interesting for those
who love to view art as
well!
Sharland East Urquhart
is an artist fuelled by
the great loves of her
life, gardening and
fly-fishing. We
are in for a treat today
- on a recent visit to
the garden we were
overcome by the sheer
beauty of it,
Don't miss out today -
Sharland will conduct a
personal tour and tell
us how she re-designed
the garden and opened up
the views.
You will feel like you
are in paradise! A
fabulous way to spend
the last Thursday in
November (before you get
hectic with Christmas
shopping). |

|
Lunch will be at the
Lookout Deck
overlooking the
Hout Bay Harbour.
Traveltime was here in
December last year and
enjoyed it. We initially
planned to go to the
Wharfside Grill at
Mariners Wharf but
after a few adverse
comments about the Grill
we decided to rather go
to the Lookout Deck. |
|
|
Having succumbed to the
ambiance, friendship and
food we will take our
leave of this
picturesque bay, but
before we head back to
Constantia we will
stop at a unique
business in Hout Bay,
T- Bag Designs.
Here the local community
has got involved in
re-cycling tea bags and
doing terrific art
product with them!
(A fabulous place to
pick up a few Christmas
gifts) |
A woman is like a tea
bag.
You only know how strong
she is when she is put
in hot water

Cost for
the day will be
R320 for a two course lunch
and will include your
transport,
and a donation to the
Bishopscourt
gardeners.
Coach
will leave Tableview
Shopping Centre 09h00
and Constantia Village
at 10h00
