The Horses and Flowers have a symbiotic relationship as the farm fresh horse manure is turned to compost and applied at regular intervals to the soil. This creates fertile, rich in nutrient soil, allowing us to grow flowers predominantly organically. At Vashto we start at sunrise to harvest our flowers while it is still cool to insure the freshness and longevity for our customers.

The name Vashto is the umbrella company name and it originates from a foundation mare that James’ Grandfather gave to his father for thoroughbred horse breeding, and the legacy of success continues as it is now the name of a fast growing, exciting flower business. The Western Cape Climate with the warm dry summers are beneficial to both horses and growing healthy, beautiful flowers.
