In October 2010 Sedgefield Slow Town came into being. Sedgefield was the first town in Africa to be awarded Slow Town status. This completely dovetailed with the concept of "conservation without boundaries". It complemented the overall vision that the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism had for the Garden Route National Park which was gazetted in 2009. Sedgefield Tortoise is a regular visitor to our garden. Painted on an iPhone using the Procreate app. 939px wide by 629px high
