Lentegeur Market Garden

Lentegeur Market Garden is a 1.2-hectare vocational farming project on the grounds of Lentegeur Psychiatric Hospital in Mitchell's Plain, established in 2013 by the Spring Foundation. Patients work the land as part of a psycho-social rehabilitation programme, growing vegetables that are sold to the public as a bio-intensive market garden. It is run with support from the SA Urban Food & Farming Trust and functions primarily as a therapeutic and training initiative rather than a conventional retail market.
