  "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science" - Albert Einstein

Soekershof � uncover the mystery of our mazes and gardens, in the company of people who want to provide you with an enjoyable and inspirational experience.

Soekershof, as it is today, draws on the wealth of local history and story-telling folklore. In Soekershof � whose name means Seekers Court � you can explore the original succulent garden of Marthinus Malherbe, who is buried there, and see the oldest cactus in South Africa, which dates from 1910.

  
  Your Maze Quest adventure starts with a Stone Age Cinema screening. Then, it's off to the maze, where you will discover a surprise around every corner, if you only dare to open your heart and mind. Uncovering the mysteries of the German and the Dutchman will leave a smile on your face and a souvenir in your pocket.

You can also enjoy an interactive exploration of Soekershof's highly acclaimed outdoor succulent collection: we have more than 2400 different registered succulent plants that originate from several continents. Discover hidden ‘baby bumps’, ‘horse teeth’ and other gems. Try something new and come for a flower tasting, and let the wonders of nature stimulate all your senses.

  
  ‘Our Little Nursery’ and ‘The Shop’ offer naturally grown succulent plants and locally-made garden accessories for your own garden.

Ideal for: Family outings, group outings, horticultural/botanical educationals, garden clubs, photo & film shooting, school outings, teambuilding, night adventures, weddings, active functions, etc. Enquire about (customized) possibilities.

"The soul cannot thrive in the absence of a garden" - Thomas Moore
