Food Focus
We now have two gardens nurturing a variety of plants. The focus of our gardening has turned to food production. Kayole’s flat rooftops are ideal for family-sized food gardens which we supply in cut-off plastic drums, safe from goats, vandals and thieves. A handful of youngsters make a living growing and selling leafy green vegetables by the side of the road. And we are always available with advice, seeds, seedlings and essential gardening products.
Recently, to combat this increasing demand for food and the decreasing available space to grow it, four members of our team undertook a comprehensive hydroponics course in Nairobi. These graduates are now keen to put their skills to work, not only in our own gardens, but starting gardens for others. We are looking forward to teaching our valuable urban farming skills to others, working with local youth to produce food and income.
We are now holding workshops on establishing and maintaining urban food gardens and will cover such topics as hydroponics, rainwater harvesting plant nutrition, organic farming, human nutrition and commerce. These have a large hands-on aspect; training happens at our garden and trainees will be provided the necessary equipment to start their own enterprise.
