The Bromeliads Southern Africa
venture was born out of the love and passion for these unique plants.

Bromeliads Southern Africa is a plant nursery specializing in Bromeliads, owned and managed by avid Gardener, Orchid and Bromeliad collector Maggie Vergottini. The nursery is situated in the Garden Route Area of South Africa, in the coastal town of Mossel Bay.  The town is a popular holiday destination with great scenics and other cultural gems.  If you are a bromeliad lover, you can visit us in Mossel Bay and also experience its beauty.

The nursery and cultivating tunnels are 48km west of Mossel Bay on the Vergottini’s family farm Blandsdrift where they also breed rare game. The premises are open to the public by appointment only.  This will depend on Maggie’s availability.

Maggie has been a keen collector for more than 20 years and her vast collection consists of plants from all over the world. As her collection grew, she discovered how difficult it was to obtain some of these unique plants. This is when she realised that there is a niche in the market for a specialist nursery, not only in the Garden Route, but for South Africa as a whole.
