Looking for something meaningful to do in Cape Town before the year wraps up?
This garden charity event in Cape Town is your chance to slow down, experience summer and make a difference simply by showing up.
At the end of November, the five-star Cellars-Hohenort Hotel & Spa in Constantia opens its world-famous gardens to the public for one day, in aid of St Luke’s Combined Hospices. Expect fragrant blooms, picturesque corners, and scones served with tea on the terrace, with every ticket helping someone in need.
A Cape Town garden charity event worth supporting
For more than 40 years, St Luke’s Combined Hospices has provided compassionate palliative care across Cape Town, helping patients with life-threatening illnesses live with dignity and comfort. Their team supports thousands of families each year, relying on community donations and events like this one.
The Cellars-Hohenort gardens are among Cape Town’s most enchanting, featuring rolling lawns, 300-year-old camphor trees and a formal rose garden home to the Liz McGrath Rose, named after the hotel’s late founder. By attending, you’re not just admiring the gardens; you’re helping fund care that makes a real difference in someone’s final chapter.
Beauty with purpose
Late spring in Constantia means flowers in full bloom, the air rich with jasmine, and Table Mountain glowing in the afternoon light. Whether you’re a garden lover, a Cape Town local looking for something new to do, or someone who simply wants to do good, this event is one of those feel-good experiences that stays with you long after the day ends.
You could even make a day of it by exploring nearby Cape Town gardens like Kirstenbosch or Arderne Gardens for a full nature-filled escape.
