The vertical gardens are thriving!

I am delighted to share some photos of the progress of the garden towers.

The gardens have thrived since the locals planted their towers about three weeks ago!

The locals have been caring for the gardens through constant watering and weeding. At the special school, the gardens offer students an opportunity to experience practical lessons on good crop husbandry practices.

Very soon, they will provide a healthy diet for the students! Our staff have been visiting the homesteads and the Wamunyu special school to monitor the progress. So far, we have yet to experience challenges.

We anticipate the beneficiaries will start harvesting the vegetables for domestic use in the coming weeks.

A person tending to a vegetable garden, focusing on a lush, leafy plant, possibly a type of cabbage or kale. The garden is in an open field under a clear sky with scattered clouds, and the surrounding landscape includes more vegetation and a few trees. The individual is wearing a sleeveless basketball jersey and appears to be using a small tool or his hands in the soil.
