What is Life is a Garden?

The Life is a Garden campaign was launched in August 2008 by the South African Nursery Association to promote gardening as a leisure time hobby.

The campaign provides gardening features and pictures to the media to assist with the promotion of gardening and organises regional promotions in local garden centres.

As the marketing arm of SANA, Life is a Garden also facilitates and supports the Water Wise campaigns with Rand Water and the Plant Me Instead campaign with Working for Water Nurseries Partnership Programme.
