Project: Building 20 vertical gardens in Kenya

Today, the first vertical garden was set up!

A group of people holding up green shade netting around a cylindrical soil grow bag with seedlings in an outdoor field.
Locals underwent further training to learn how to build a vertical garden:

In the training, we invited five women from five homesteads who will benefit from the garden towers and a teacher from the Wamunyu special school.

Trainees were trained on setting up the garden towers, including how to mix the soil with organic manure, compact the soil, and plant the seedlings.

Two presenters in green t-shirts displaying a chart on a flipboard to seated attendees taking notes in a community meeting room.
When we first voted on this project, all we had to go by was an AI-generated sketch of what we hoped the vertical garden structure would look like.

It’s inspiring to see the real thing built and looking sturdy.
