Hackland Aloe Garden was established in 2012 by Rick & Femma Hackland, from Xiba Farm, Bishopstowe.

Over the years they’ve been adding different plant varieties, including a large variety of aloes, which developed into this breathtaking garden and surroundings. This motivated them to share this beautiful garden with the public, church groups, artists and photographers.
