Plants - Trees - Proteas - Fynbos

Pitstop Plante is a group of nursery outlets selling plants and trees grown at Akkersdrift Protea Farm in Elim about 30 minutes drive from Gansbaai. The farm is well known for the exceptional quality of its plants and trees, many of which are indigenous to the Cape Floristic Region. In addition to Indigenous varieties, Pitstop Plante has a stunning selection of ground covers, shrubs, hedging, climbers, and waterwise and wind-resistant plants. Pitstop Plante has outlets at Marietjies Pub in Baardskeerdersbos and Talana’s Potte in Bredasdorp. While smaller orders can be filled at Pitstop Plante’s outlets, Akkersdrift Protea Farm can be visited by arrangement to collect larger consignments for retail and landscaping clients. Day visits to see the flower production can be arranged and guests can also enjoy a retreat-style getaway at the campsite and rustic cottage on the property.
