Art & Sculptures
By Artist Abby Shalabi My love of art has inspired me to create multimedia forms of art and sculpture in every imaginable form and shape. This freedom to create has manifest into one of the largest outdoor art galleries by using fabric, pallets, metal sheets, recycled material, glass, foam, bark, branches, cement (the list goes on …) to design, shape and colour exteriors, air b&b interiors, eco splash pools, swings, furniture, outdoor barbecue areas, baths and showers and recycled sculptures. Each day brings new ideas as I “paint” the land alive. For anyone arriving on Sakura land strolling on the pathways or entering the accommodations offers a visual delight as both the interiors and exteriors are a display of interestingly massive, medium and small works of art. Sakura land is an outdoor art gallery, from the moment you arrive at the land, you are greeted by the ‘colorful’ painted trees at the entrance to the quirky shapes and colors in all the modern spaces. Living on a nature reserve my commitment to clear Port Jackson trees (alien to fynbos) has taken on a desire to honor and recycle the trees into everything conceivable art form. In the gift shop my art, paintings and sculptures are available for sale. At present I am exploring the creation of an installation to recycle bottles, plastics, discarded materials, tins etc. I use my vision to go beyond what I image is possibly living in peace and prosperity on Sakura land.

Organic vegtables
Being at the land opened up a total new world to me, like a kid just arrived to wonderland, lots to do, lots to learn, lots to enjoy ... one of my newfound passions is gardening and landscaping, then the passion extended to growing pesticide free, organic, fresh fruit and vegetables for myself, friends, guests and staff. I have the freedom to include medicinal plants (cannabis, lavender, rosemary, stinging nettle and sage). Previously, we started aquaponic farming with three stations (tanks and barrels) that grow plants with only water and nutrients. The byproduct of my 100 Tilapia fish nourish the water that my vegetables grow in. This water then feeds back to the Tilapia fish tank providing them with clean, fresh water to thrive in. As amazing as the aquaponic farming idea was, we had repeated challenges and decided to put it on hold. My new nature connection has humbled and fascinated me, coming from a lifetime living in cities to be arriving to a raw land brought me new challenges, experiences and childlike joy and creativity. The timelessness hours that i spent with nature barefoot, enjoying the soil, sand, bees, sun, the gift of water, growing organic food and flowers,
