Gardening this Month 

We have a lot to celebrate at Stodels this month. Our three branches in Bellville, Kenilworth and Milnerton held our name high at the recent Garden Centre Association (GCA) Awards.

Stodels Kenilworth won the prize for the best Garden Centre in the Western Cape and Stodels Bellville claimed the prize for the Best Garden Care Section (chemicals, fertilizers etc) in the country. All three of our branches received gold medals for their high standards and service excellence. We also claimed fourth place in the country for Best General Display and Best Outdoor Plants (Stodels Kenilworth), and Best Garden Care (Stodels Milnerton).

If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about I urge you to visit your closest Stodels branch today. These awards are the result of extremely hard work and dedication from all our staff members. I’d like to say a very big thank you to them all, and urge you, our customers to come in and experience our winning service.

From the Stodels Team: Congratulations to Nick Stodel who won the GCA President’s Award for dedication, continued commitment and support to the Green Industry.

The art of bonsai (pronounced bone-SIGH) is much more than just planting a tree in a container – it involves an appreciation of art and nature and especially a love of trees. Growing and creating bonsai is an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
