2025 Dahlia Festival
Petals with Purpose - Exclusive Access to Flowering Fields in Magaliesberg
At Hadeco, our heart beats with a simple yet powerful belief: bulbs are a reflection of nature’s majesty, nurturing not only the earth but also the soul. Guided by our tagline, “Nourish to Flourish,” this philosophy underpins everything we do, from planting and nurturing to delivering bulbs that inspire joy and wonder. It’s not merely a tagline – it’s a way of life.
In today’s fast-paced world, we offer something different: an invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature, and witness the incredible transformation of a humble bulb into a magnificent bloom. Now, for the first time ever, Hadeco is thrilled to announce our highly anticipated Petals with Purpose: Dahlia Festival, set against the picturesque backdrop of one of our eight farms on the Highveld.

A Celebration of Blooms and Community
Nestled in the heart of the Magaliesberg, surrounded by rolling hills and open skies, the festival will feature about three hectares of fields (about seven soccer fields) bursting with thousands of dahlia flowers in full bloom. Visitors can anticipate a sensory feast as they wander through vibrant fields awash in crimsons, pastel pinks, golden yellows, pristine whites, plush purples, and an extraordinary spectrum of colours. Paired with the breathtaking artistry of nature, this enchanting experience promises to inspire awe and serenity. It’s a perfect opportunity to capture life-brimming photos and create cherished memories.
As part of our commitment to giving back, the Dahlia Festival will support the local Magaliesberg community, and 50% of the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to charity. Additionally, local agricultural school, Hoërskool Bekker will be catering to ensure a family-friendly experience that’s as delightful as it is purpose-driven.
