		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently built this retaining wall and would like to create a vertical garden by planting in and around the sandbags. Could someone please advise me what plants to use? I am based in Durban so they would need to be suited to our climate.]]></description>

		<title>Zulu Palm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have this indigenous palm growing in the garden. Does anyone know anymore about it? It really is an attractive plant and seems to be well-love by the garden creatures. Its orange berries are a hit with the monkeys and I&#8217;m convinced a mole-like creature lives in the fronds.]]></description>

		<title>Misty Mountain Hop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hiking and trail running on the Cape is a game of pot luck. One minute the sun is shining, the next you are enveloped in swathes of cold mountain cloud.
