Robertson, South Africa; May 17 2007 - Soekershof Walkabout, Mazes &
Botanical Gardens, has launched two new blogsites in addition to the
own website.
The first is http://soekershof.blogspot.com and keeps (potential)
visitors updated with the latest developments in and around Soekershof
and with links to other interesting things-to-do/see in the area.
The second, http://soekershof.wordpress.com is primary a service tool
for customers of the own Soekershof nursery and other succulent
lovers. This blogsite provides visitors with information about all
(basic) aspects of cultivating succulents including cacti in South
Africa.

Both blogs offer visitors to comment (even anonymous).
In the first week after the launch both blogs each are attracting more
than 40 hits daily which is quite remarkable for Soekershof Walkabout
is operating in a 'niche-niche market'.

The idea for both blogsites came after the enormous response on the
description of Soekershof in a blogsite of an entrepreneur from New
York. See for yourself:

Important: Per August 1 of this year the admission rates of Soekershof

yrs will remain R 20.00.
For groups of 9 persons: R 500.00 plus R 40.00 pp for every addition

Another change, in order to ease our organisation and to ensure guests
of the typical personal touch, is that, per August 1, visitors cannot

opening times will than only apply for customers of our nursery.
Walkabouts will start at 11 AM and 3 PM but from December 1 to March 1

bookings can order a Dutch picnic (breadrolls ham, cheese, coffee/tea,
