Build your garden around a fairy tale
28 January Week 04 Week 21 Volume 09,2020, 23 May 2017,
tame TIMES met Germiston resident and owner of The Fairy Garden Shop, Hannalie Reed, who took our editor Garin Joemath on a journey through her miniature gardens that are filled with magic and fairy tales. Reed said that you can create a miniature garden in any space you have – inside or out. “A corner of a flower bed, under a tree, in a pot on the patio or even in an old fish tank. It’s very easy to be a bit dismissive about them, but I defy you to look at one of these gardens and not smile. They are
Tuesday Tel: 011Delivered 862 8500 Ievery www.tametimes.co.za
enchanting, the detail and devotion will engage you,” said Reed. We learned from Reed that one of the many wonderful things about fairy gardens is that you can start small and build up over time. She claims that one must put your toe in the water with just a bench or a door, but choose your scale carefully when you start as you need to keep the same scale throughout. “Most accessories you can buy are typically 1:12 (one inch to one foot). Houses typically are under 30cm. If you get bitten by the fairy bug there
is a world out there to explore. There are themes and stories to tell, just as full size gardens can have a cottage or a classical theme, these tiny gardens can be fashioned along similar lines. A popular way to build a garden is around a fairy tale – Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, Tinkerbell, Peter Pan, etc. It’s a wonderful way to capture the imagination of a reluctant reader – children will rush to the book to get more information about the garden. You can build tiny mountains, forests, farms and ponds, there are no limitations. If the garden is for children and they turn their noses up at fairies, try trolls, dragons, dinosaurs, elves and gnomes. These gardens are completely open to imagination and children will supply that in spades,” added Reed. Reed believes that children love them and that they are mesmerized by the intricate details and the sheer wonderful enchantment of them. “But there are plenty of adults too who just love creating them, arranging and rearranging, building and buying new bits and bobs, and getting it to look just right. Something which started with just a door, quickly develops into a setting by adding a mail box, a pond, tiny woodlands and paths, seats and…well, a whole miniature world,” said Reed. She stressed that it’s a cliché but it’s true – they are for ‘children of all ages’ and how far you go with it is limited only by
Tell: 011 862 8500 I Fax: 086 241 5648
your imagination. “You can buy all the accessories from The Fairy Garden Shop or book a session with me and I will teach you how to make little miniature items using odds around the house and garden using cocktail sticks, wire, bottle lids, twigs, etc. These projects are small enough to do in an afternoon. It really doesn’t matter if the finish isn’t perfect, it all adds to the charm,” concluded Reed. *TIP - Alpine plants and succulents are often ideal for fairy gardens – pretty and compact. A great tip is to buy tiny plants and then keep the plant in its pot and sink it into ground to restrict growth.

A NOTE FROM THE
EDITOR
Holy Rosary begins a new start
This week AfriForum will address a second letter to Gauteng premier David Makhura, in which the civil rights organisation will once again voice its discontent over the ongoing chaos at several Gauteng schools as a result of unplaced or incorrectly placed learners. Several schools had to close their doors on 20 January 2020 out of fear after days of protest marches by unhappy and frustrated parents. This situation unfolded while Panyaza Lesufi, MEC for Education in Gauteng, continues to pretend that his province’s schools aren’t experiencing any problems. AfriForum has been contacted repeatedly by disheartened parents who say they don’t get any support from the Gauteng Department of Education. tame TIMES learned that Carien Bloem, Manager for Education at AfriForum said that they are already in the second week of the first term and there is still unhappiness among parents and schools as a direct result of the online registration and placement system. She argues that our society can’t have a situation where schools have to close doors because of chaos caused t h e i r the Gauteng Department of b y Education. tame TIMES will keep readers updated with more information regarding this case.

Future stars go forever faster at PUMA School of Speed #2 The PUMA School of Speed #2 saw track and field #FutureStars follow in the footsteps of Usain Bolt as they pushed their limits at the Ruimsig Athletics Stadium on Saturday, 25 January 2020. Headed by Bolt, the PUMA School of Speed is a national series of five track and field meets that was launched in 2016 with the goal of identifying exceptional young South African athletes who believe that their future is #ForeverFaster. The PUMA School of Speed #2 saw junior track and field #FutureStars between the ages of 14-19 compete in long and high jump, the 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, long jump and hurdles. The Boys U17 400m was dominated by Lythe Pillay (Benoni) from King Edward VII School. “The PUMA School of Speed is a good platform for athletes to showcase their talent. It means a lot to come out on top today. It shows that I am doing a lot right, but there is still work to be done. So it’s back to the drawing board. My advice to other athletes is to have fun. Don’t buckle under pressure. I always tell myself that I am here to have fun. Whether you finish first or last, if you had fun it’s a win at the end of the day.” Pillay crossed the finish line in 48.23 seconds. Wilco Geldenhuys came in 2nd, while Keletso Seoposengwe finished 3rd. Jonathan de Klerk (Alberton Christian
Academy) claimed gold in the Boys U19 100m in 10.58 seconds. “The PUMA School of Speed is awesome,” says de Klerk. “This is the second time that I participate. I didn’t do so well last year. I’ve been improving my time, so I thought that now is a good time to take part. Coming first is amazing. My improvement from last year is just crazy. My advice to other athletes is to train hard and push through the pain.” Melvin Miya came in 2nd, while Phumzile Mqolo finished 3rd. Nikiwe Mongwe (Ekurhuleni East TVET
College / Springs) secured victory in the Girls U19 100m in 12.60 seconds. “I entered because I saw the nice prizes that were up for grabs and I wanted competition. I wanted to see where I am at in sport. The PUMA School of Speed is amazing. The athletes have really got their game on. Coming first means a lot. It means that I have potential to go to SA Champs and win.” Mariska Jonker came in 2nd, while Jenna Stolz finished 3rd. Chinique Brown (Pietersburg High

School Polokwane) was on fire in the Girls U19 200m. “This is the first time that I take part in the PUMA School of Speed. A friend told me about the event, so I decided to come have a look. I came second in the 400m. It feels good to come first in the 200m.” Nikiwe Mongwe came in 2nd, while Christina van der Merwe finished 3rd. Ivan Geldenhuys (Namibia) took top honors in the Boys U19 400m in a time of 47.64 seconds. “I’ve travelled a long way. I am here to study at TUKS. I entered because there are always new experiences and new athletes to challenge you and improve your talent. I love the event. There’s nice competition, it’s well organized and the people are very nice.” Jack Judds came in 2nd, while Josua Gouws finished 3rd. Amy Naude (Ashton International College / Ballito) secured the top spot on the podium in the Girls U19 400m in a time of 55.93 seconds. “I love the PUMA School of Speed,” says Naude. “The atmosphere is just amazing. We don’t often get to experience this. I’ve participated too many times to count. Coming first in the finals means a lot to me. It takes a lot of work. Balance is important. Balance your social life, school work and athletics. And you need to listen to your coach.” Chinique Brown came in 2nd, while Lene van Heerden finished 3rd.
