'WOOL YOU BE MINE' | A NEW LOCAL BRAND STORY 🧶

The beanie asked the little child: “Wool you be mine?”

A COUNTRY BASKET MOMENT | ’FOLLOW YOUR NOSE’ ੯·̀͡⬮

This Freedom Day, we’re celebrating the simple joy of planting, growing, and tending your garden. A small nod, too, to Nelson Mandela, who found solace and control in creating a garden in the most unlikely of places. 🇿🇦

Tucked into our corner of The Quarter, it’s hard not to take a moment when you see the selection of succulents, pelargoniums, and seasonal blooms on display.

Some people arrive knowing exactly what they need: a hardy showstopper for a patio pot, or a little green pick-me-up for a sunny windowsill at home. Others stop by for a casual browse and end up leaving with something anyway. (When plants are involved - it's bound to happen.)

And sometimes, man’s best friend even weighs in on the final choice. We love that our four-legged visitors take their plant-shopping duties so seriously! 🐾

Stop by, take your time, and pick out something special to take home or as a gift. Everyone is welcome, paws and all.

Find your next garden favourite (and so much more) at The Quarter, Long Street, Montagu.

SAY ‘ALOE’ TO YOUR NEW KLEIN KAROO GARDEN BESTIES 🪴

Whether you’re a succulent fundi or a plant beginner, Aloe vera and its cousin, Aloe ferox, are two must-have silhouettes for your healing garden.

Both are proudly indigenous and beautifully resilient… but each has its own story to tell.

🪴 Aloe vera is a world-famous classic, an indigenous powerhouse, and an everyday healer. Its cool, soothing gel - straight from the source - calms sunburn or insect bites, nourishes skin, and offers gentle, practical care.

🪴 Aloe ferox (Cape Aloe/Bitter Aloe) is the "prince" of medicinal plants, boasting double the amino acids and significantly higher levels of Aloin for maximum healing. Its traditional plant wisdom is so deeply tied to the land that it is frequently featured in San and Khoi rock paintings.

🪴🪴 Together, they’re basically nature’s pharmacy in a plant.

They are incredibly low-maintenance garden additions, and Aloe ferox will even treat you to stunning chilli-red flowers that sunbirds and bees absolutely dote on during winter.

Head over to County Basket at The Quarter, Long Street, Montagu to grab both of these botanical legends.

JEWELLERY MAKING | SOMETIMES INSPIRATION BEGINS ON A PAGE

This week’s Friday Focus is all about jewellery-making, pewter work, and beading. We’ve curated a selection of books on the craft that are packed with patterns and techniques for every skill level.

“Jewellery tells a story without even a single word – a non-verbal communication of style.” – Michael Rosey West

We’ve also paired this theme with Country Basket, just a few doors down, where the textures and colours found in our books are transformed into stunning handmade beaded pieces by a local crafter.

Experience the journey from page… to practice… to piece.

Pop in at The Quarter, to browse the books, then head over to Country Basket to discover the finished craft. It’s a small-town collaboration celebrating the beautiful art of making by hand.
