A BIG THANK YOU FROM THE FOMM AND AML 🪴🐾

🌿 Our Spring Open Garden was a day to remember, with a record number of visitors wandering through the gates.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success:
👨🏻🧓🏻 Naas and Jenny - for opening your beautiful garden and sharing the pleasure it brings with others.
👒 Our local community - for turning out in such numbers to support the two causes.
☕ Our FOMM and AML volunteers - the welcomers, tea-pourers, bakers, and all-round helpers who brought such warmth, energy, and team spirit to the day.

‘Til next time…

📢 JOUBERT HOUSE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

The heritage preservation project is taking longer than expected!

Joubert House will remain closed while restoration work on its historic flooring continues. We appreciate your patience as we give this important work the time and care it deserves.

The good news? You can still visit the Old Mission Church, which will be open to visitors with free entrance during this time. 💛

We’ll share an update as soon as we have a clearer picture of when we can welcome visitors back to Joubert House.

HOW MANY DOES IT TAKE TO ASSEMBLE A GAZEBO? 😉

Thanks to the Friends of the Montagu Museum, a neglected corner of the Joubert House Herb Garden is slowly getting a makeover.

Putting the gazebo together was a little trickier than the instructions promised, but with teamwork, DIY skills, and freshly baked pastries from The Rambling Rose, we got it done! ⛩
