Continuing with our coverage of
urban gardening,
KwaNzira's:
Urban Farming's mission is to network one thousand quality permaculture demonstration nodes in Southern Africa by 2020. This goal will be achieved by the “Nodes Create Nodes” model where the focus of every node is to facilitate the establishment of ten more permaculture nodes and linking them together. By forming chains of interlinked nodes, very large and complex data structures can be formed in Africa.
the main focus is to facilitate the creation of nodes at the household level. A node is a home of sustainable living. Nodes have many faces and perform many functions. Some nodes may be premier permaculture demonstration models, incorporating a wide variety of sustainable living practices, while other nodes may perform more specific functions. For example, one household may showcase a renewable energy program while another could be a quality water-harvesting model. In this way, different households with different capabilities can work together towards achieving the ultimate goal of building a sustainable community.

The sack gardens are completly beautiful. Look how the colors are so lively together. They are tall, protected, at eye level. Clever and good in so many ways. Better than pots, considering rubbish, breaking, overheating soil microbes and roots...
So many virtures. Im inspired.
