For over 30 years, Paul and Anne have nurtured Monkey Fountain Nursery to grow from a modest family venture into a thriving community garden and café in the heart of Randburg.

What started with a love of plants and people is now a place where nature, knowledge, and community come together.

Still family-run, you’ll often find Paul and the team offering real, practical advice among the seedlings, herbs, and fruit trees — or sharing a chat over coffee and pizza under the trees.

At Monkey Fountain, gardening is more than planting. It’s a way of life that connects us to the soil, to each other, and to something timeless.

Connecting People with Plants.

Grow.
We believe growth is at the heart of everything — plants, people, and ideas. Whether it’s nurturing a seedling or learning something new, we grow with intention, care, and curiosity.

Eat.
Food and nature belong together. Our café celebrates honest, wholesome ingredients, many inspired by what grows right here in the nursery — because good food is part of a healthy garden life.

Inspire.
From Paul’s plant tips to our Knowledge Bar, we love sharing what we’ve learned over 30 years of gardening. We aim to inspire confidence, creativity, and joy in every gardener who visits.

Create.
Gardens are living art. We help our customers create spaces that reflect their personality, their lifestyle, and their love of the outdoors — from balcony pots to sprawling backyard havens.

A family owned & loved business.

Paul’s lifelong passion for plants and advice made him a trusted gardening voice in the community. Anne brings her creative touch to the nursery, creating the welcoming atmosphere that makes Monkey Fountain feel like home.
