Hermanus, is a town on the southern coast of the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is famous for Southern Right whale watching during the southern winter to spring seasons, and is a popular retirement location, too. Although the Southern Right whale is the most prolific species in the bay, it is not the only one that visits these shores. The whales can be seen from the cliffs all along the coast from as early as June and usually depart in early-December. They were once hunted in the nearby town of Betty's Bay, but are now protected to ensure the survival of the species. The Old Harbour Museum contains several exhibitions that explain the whaling industry, and the De Wetshuis Photo Museum houses an exhibition of photos by T. D. Ravenscroft that depicts the history of Hermanus. The Whale Museum houses a skeleton of a whale and shows an audio-visual presentation of whales and dolphins twice daily.
INTERESTING FACTS
Here at Hermanus Florist we grow our own flowers on our organic flower farm. Oreo, our resident piggy, enjoys a lovely life on the farm, and at the same time provides the soil with the best manure for flower growing. There are birds, chameleons, bees, butterflies, and other insects, that contribute to the pollination of the flowers and keep a balanced ecosystem. Our flowers go on a beautiful journey from their days on our organic flower farm, right to your door. Some of our flowers bloom all year round in our flower greenhouse. This ensures the freshest flower delivery to your door throughout the year.
No words can explain the joy and surprise on the face of a recipient when our driver delivers flowers to them. To put such smiles on the faces of people who both receive and send flowers to South Africa and Africa is incredible! Being able to bring such happiness to so many makes this the best job in the world!
