THE GARDENER'S APOTHECARY
We’re thrilled to announce a new beginning for Space2b’s beloved laneway café!
Formerly known as Flavours of Syria, the café space is being reimagined by the vibrant and passionate Kemi Dradi.
Many of you will remember Kemi from the joyful Astral African Market she brought to life in our laneway in March 2024. As an artisan, event host, and hospitality creative, Kemi brings a wealth of experience and deep cultural knowledge to this new venture. She now returns to infuse the café with her love for African heritage, plant-based food, and holistic wellness.
The Gardener’s Apothecary will serve African-origin coffee, wellness lattes, loose-leaf herbal teas, toasties, traditional pastries like puff-puffs, and more. The space will also host inclusive community events and storytelling grounded in ancestral wisdom.
We are honoured to support Kemi in this powerful new chapter at Space2b, and can’t wait to see her vision come to life. The transformation of the laneway café is already underway—watch this space. Something special is brewing!
“The Gardener’s Apothecary is a living offering — to our ancestors, to the Earth, and to our community. It’s where nourishment meets ritual, and every cup is a gentle reminder to slow down, to heal, and to reconnect.”— Kemi Dradi
