Bringing the Romanesque and Italian Renaissance to life in a symphony of summer’s finest. This bespoke table mock-up, designed for our client’s event earlier this year, celebrates the season’s bounty with rich, vibrant floral textures, in shades of orange, contrasted with manipulated anthurium blooms in gilded tones of gold, bronze and copper, elegant marble, and nude terracotta.
We accented the crockery with custom-designed paper placemats using David as inspiration.
Every detail, from the gilded accents to the sculptural centrepieces, is crafted to evoke the timeless opulence, for their guests.
At Hare Curated, we believe each table tells a story, and this one speaks of abundance, art, and the beauty of nature’s bounty.

Preparing Some of My Beds for Dahlias
There’s nothing better than getting my hands dirty and working in the garden! As an urban cut flower grower with dreams of blooming into something bigger, I’m excited to share how I prepare some of my planting beds for beautiful, healthy dahlias.
First, I remove 150-200 mm of soil from the bed, add natural inputs like grass clippings, and then mix in kraal manure, bonemeal, worm castings, and alfalfa pellets. After enriching the bed with well-draining soil, I top it off with barley straw for mulch – perfect for retaining moisture and nurturing the soil biome.
This is year 4 of my cut flower journey, and I’m learning more every season about what works. Gardening is an art and a science, and healthy soil is the key to vibrant, happy blooms. Join me as I share some tips, lessons learned, and how small spaces can make a big impact!

As the last petals fall, we bid a bittersweet goodbye to the stunning Ranunculus and Anemone blooms that brought so much beauty to our fields this season.
From their vibrant colours to their delicate layers, these flowers were the stars of our gardens this late winter and early spring. We grew well over 2000 corms in our test beds here at HQ.
Next year we will grow more in our test beds, but also in our growing tunnels for the 1st time (30 minutes away from HQ). We can`t wait to nurture them next year the same way we nurtured and enjoyed them this year. We had a bumper crop and shared our bounty and their most spectacular blooms. And while we’ll miss their presence, we’re already planning for next season’s magic—bigger, bolder, and more breathtaking than ever!
Stay tuned as we prepare the test boxes, beds and tunnels soil for the next wave of floral beauty. Until then, let’s cherish these final moments and look forward to what’s to come.

To our amazing community,
We want to give you a heads-up about a little hiccup we`ve encountered today. On Friday, we were notified by our web hosting provider about some scheduled maintenance happening today (September 1st, 2024) and tomorrow morning (September 2nd, 2024). We had everything ready for our big launch—products were loaded, links were tested, and we were excited to welcome you all. However, it seems a gremlin snuck into our system, and despite our best efforts, we`ve hit a bit of a snag.
We were optimistic that we wouldn’t be affected by the maintenance, but it turns out that our site is currently experiencing some issues with some of the new links. We know many of you were eager to start shopping for your favourite cut flower varieties this morning, and we share your disappointment. As a small token of our appreciation for your patience, anyone who reaches out to us will receive a free pack of Dahlia seeds with their order.
While we work behind the scenes to get everything back up and running, here’s a sneak peek of what’s waiting for you:
🌸 Lisianthus (various varieties) 🌸 Snapdragon (various varieties) 🌸 Ammi Visnaga Green Mist 🌸 Delphiniums (various varieties) 🌸 Larkspur (some varieties) 🌸 Scabiosa Fama White and Deep Blue 🌸 Kale Ornamental 🌸 Some dahlia and other cut flower seed varieties
And a quick note for our dahlia lovers: Our dahlia tubers will be available towards the end of September or early October. We`re currently checking them to ensure they’re in perfect condition for you. We only sell viable, top-quality tubers each year because we believe in giving you the very best. Stay tuned for more updates!
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate this unexpected challenge. We’ve been assured that everything will be back on track by Wednesday morning (September 3rd, 2024), and we can`t wait to officially launch then!

Darkness falls on the night…and the full impact of Erique’s amazing event design becomes apparent. Again, our thanks for arranging such a magnificent 60th birthday event for my darling wife. Your suggestions for caterers and barmen were right on the mark. And then to top it off you managed all suppliers with ease, and you styled the events with breathing, inspiration for my wife and our guests. Many are still talking of that great winter night in our front garden where not one sole realised that we were in the midst of winter We were all warm and toasty in our marque enveloped with beautiful décor, floral design and table setting and surrounded by laughter with friends and family to feast, drink, and celebrate this momentous moment. THANK YOU for making this so memorable.

Erique, your suggestion towards my 40th birthday made my birthday memorable. Not just to me but to all of my friends, family and some of my close colleagues that I work with. You stepped in a few weeks before and you assisted me in tying up loose ends and making sure everything stayed on track at a moment when I thought it was all going to fall apart. You have excellent budget-saving ideas and know where and how to create an impact that will have my guests feeling like this was a celebration and special moment. You assisted me and styled a remarkable event. Your eye for colour and detail is phenomenal. I am so grateful to you for guiding me and then styling my 40th birthday party.

How can we thank you for all your tireless wonder? You took our requests and ideas fleshed them out and guided us through your creative process to a place of magic. You turned our venue into something completely different. You gave us whimsical elegance within our budget.
What marvels me most is how you dealt with one or two issues that could have possibly become an anti-climax to our event and with utter ease you diverted and came up with solutions on the day when the venue could not fulfil its mandate even though you were not contracted to deal with it you stepped in and made a plan for us with one of your vendors who on short notice assisted you and that speaks volumes of the relationship you have with your team and vendors.
You and your team executed the days before and the actual day with precision and left us with nothing wanting. A huge thank you from me and Dave for a magical event, beautifully put together.

The most insane dahlias by Erique Swart of @harecurated for my better half’s birthday lunch yesterday. I doubt I could capture the colours or the enormity of these beauties in a single pic, but I will try…

Dearest Erique, once again we could rely on you to create another gorgeous event for our family, and for Neil’s 70th birthday. Our front lawn in Melrose Estate once again was transformed into a space where friends and family came together for a luncheon with exquisite food, (as per your recommendation) via Olives and Plates, your décor, table setting, floral designs for the tables and our various space, the entertainment and of course your idea of having a bespoke gin bar from Thrust just made the luncheon and afternoon a perfect celebration. You worked with our theme, created a colour palette, and helped me finetune the menu from canapes to sit-down lunch, later a cheese board and topping it off with a birthday cake in Neil's favourite taste profile (Carrot Cake) supplied by Olives and Plates. As always you made sure everything was in place and on time. You wrangled all the vendors and added your decorative ambience perfectly suited to the occasion and setting. As always, our guests enjoyed themselves and had much to say about the event and their enjoyment. This is your 3rd event for us (my 60th, Bianca’s and Oliver’s engagement party and now Neil’s 70th) – Thank You, each of these has been amazing!

Hare Curated was brought in at the last minute for our company's 50th anniversary function, and they exceeded all expectations. Despite the event being planned on short notice and with a limited budget, Erique and his team at Hare Curated were incredibly helpful and willing to assist. Erique demonstrated remarkable creativity by utilising items we already had at the venue, which helped us stay within budget while still creating a festive atmosphere for our 140 guests. The transformation of our office space into a vibrant event venue was stunning, thanks to his personal touches and unique ideas. Erique and his team handled the entire setup seamlessly, requiring little to no input from me. Their professionalism and efficiency were truly impressive. Thank you again, Hare Curated, for your amazing service. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
