The teachers and pupils planted tomato and Chinese cabbage seedlings, and cuttings from cassava and sweet potato.  They also planted mchicha, mung beans, sitting beans and Moringa trees, which have been planted all the way around the garden to form a future natural fence.

Hi from teachers and pupils with Tupendane team - a job well done!

Half of the garden is turning out to be productive, while sadly half is not!  No one is sure why, so the teachers and pupils plan to start a new garden nearby where the local people say that plants have historically grown well.
