#TBT to #MandelaDay at Khanyisa garden. On the school ground of Siphamandla Secondary, we planted around 200 indigenous shrubs and trees while adding quite a bit of manure to the sandy soil. Several people helped voluntary with preparing the beds, planting seedlings, mulching and weeding.
Now, the garden of Khanyisa is being tended by Mama Monica, her husband Middletom and Babalwa, an active field team member. They grow veggies together to ensure healthy, organically grown food on their table and sell surplus via #HarvestOfHope .

Today, on International Women's Day, we are celebrating our women gardeners who have been supporting their families and communities through their home-grown veggies! The majority of our farmers consists of women who came to #CapeTown from the eastern cape.
This group in particular is tending the community and production garden Siyazama, opposite Sizimisele Tech High in Khayelitsha. Together, they grow veggies for their families, community and #HarvestOfHope . They are looking forward to July, since they plan to reopen their soup kitchen for people in need and elders.
"We’re sharing a lot here: our ideas, our views, our health, everything” says Mama Pat.
Abalimi supported the garden to establish in 1996 through fences, windbreaks, irrigation and training. Their hopes and goals for the future are to become more self sufficient, sustainable and independent.
