With the guidance of Zulpha, a scientist and aromatherapist at auburnbotanicals, we have begun the exciting process of developing our signature scents.

Together, we have carefully selected both the dominant and subtle notes for our energising and calming fragrance blends.

We look forward to refining these unique scents and incorporating them into our growing product range of candles and soap.

Casting and candle making workshop!

Chef Germaine, named the 2026 top chef in South Africa, has recruited Noluthando’s beneficiaries to create butter and sauce dishes for his restaurant, Groot Phesantekraal. The beneficiaries created a range of designs, including seashells, flowers, starfish, and leaves with pops of color from terrazzo and pigment. After being strategically poured into a silicone mould and shaken to release air bubbles, the beneficiaries sand the dried material in preparation for sealing. We are excited to see their final products in use at !

Today Teacher Ntombi led a lesson on soil identification using a combination of English, isiXhosa, and SA sign language to communicate with her students. The beneficiaries were tasked with identifying the sensory, tactile, and physical characteristics of sand, soil, and compost through observation, touch, and smell. Beneficiary Siyabulela informed us about the process of compost, and Sir Derrick brought us fresh compost from the garden which we observed under a magnifying glass!
