Activity 1:
Evidence of my work for each activity
I am originally from Harare the capital of Zimbabwe. Growing up, most families in my
community had backyard gardens or pieces of land where they would grow vegetables and
fruit at a small scale. The image below shows a community in Mbare ,Harare were a
community grows and sells vegetables to the community.
Most communities were allocated land where they grew vegetables for consumption and
sometimes for commercial purposes. Well-wishers such The Sally Foundation which
sponsors small scale community farming in Bulawayo Zimbabwe, help so many people not
only get employment but food and purpose for a lot of families.
When I moved to South Africa as a teenager, I noticed that there were not so many places
with such projects and most families relied on purchasing from the local grocery shops.
Some are fortunate to have large pieces of land in their backyards and most do not have a
garden at all and buy almost everything when they could have been saving money and
growing their own.
The Covid 19 pandemic opened my eyes to so many things and the plight of the people
around the community that I live in now. When the President of South Africa Mr Ramaphosa
announced a month-long lockdown on the nation of South Africa. This was a situation that
no one had planned for and with many losing their jobs during this time, many families were
left with very little to go by. This got me thinking, I have space in my back yard at home
which I never use and this time meant that every penny available had to be saved. Why not
grow my own garden, why not encourage families around the community to start their own
gardens at home? Growing their own vegetables in their back yard and save money where
ever possible.
My idea was to possibly teach and encourage families to start at home in their own back
yards then possibly expand this to a huge community project and call it Summer greens
Community Garden. Summer greens is a small medium density suburb in Cape Town with
, 2
mostly retired people and unemployed youth. The community of Summer greens has a
youth centre where young people spend the day playing games and socializing. These youth
are vital in starting up this project. Teaching them the benefits of being outside in nature,
gentle exercise, with the sun on their backs and sound of birds chirping in their ears, making
them both physically and mentally healthier. Growing their own vegetables, saving money
and providing instant access to ultra-fresh, chemical-free food. It’s good for the planet and
encourages a more ecologically aware attitude among those who do it. And then there’s the
opportunity to set an example to the next generation, showing them where their food
comes from and why it matters. Community gardens offer all of this, plus the powerful
added ingredient of social cohesion. Shared experiences and goals work wonders to
promote understanding between volunteers taking part. Gardeners are, by and large, lovely
people. And when you bring lovely people together, you’re on to a really good thing! Food-
growing projects are a great way to get participants speaking the same language: the
language of plants. With plenty of jobs on hand there’s bound to be something to suit every
ability or skill, so it’s an exceptionally inclusive way of bringing people together. Where else
but a community garden can you come for an hour or two, enjoy a lively natter and leave
with a bag or two of seasonal goodies. I have also considered a few aspects that would
make this project a success. Aspects to consider would be considering
• what kind of garden-vegetable, flower, trees, a combination?
• Who will the garden serve--kids, seniors, special populations, people who just want
an alternative to trash?
• Organizing a meeting of interested people
• Choosing a well-organized garden coordinator
• Forming committees to accomplish tasks: Funding & Resource Development; Youth
Activities; Communication.
• Approaching a sponsor. Site sponsorship will be a tremendous asset. Churches,
schools, citizens groups, private businesses, local parks and recreation departments
are all potential supporters that I can possibly approach.
• Making a list of what needs to be done
• Finding a garden site
• Obtaining lease or agreement from owner
• Deciding on a mailing address and central telephone number(s).
• Coming up with a budget, keeping administration in the hands of several people.
• Choosing a name for the garden
In order to achieve this, resources like contributions of land, tools, fencing, soil
improvements and money are all vital to a successful community garden. Some community
