Open Gardens Constantia raises money for Abalimi Bezekhaya and for Soil for Life.
This simple and moving 21 minute film tells the story, in the poignant and matter-of-fact words of women microfarmers, of what the support of Abalimi Bezekhaya means in their daily edible gardening lives on the Cape Flats.
“We would plant, but nothing would come up…” says one of the farmers. Enter Abalimi, with training, compost and manure, and the supplies to set farmers up to be self sustaining.
“We eat from the garden, we sell from the garden, we help from the garden,” sums up an Abalimi gardener.
On the open garden days on November 14th and 15th you’ll have a chance to enjoy fresh Abalimi produce, which will be on sale in Nicholas’s garden, and chat to a staff member to find out more about what they do, and how.
Help us support Abalimi by visiting our open gardens on November 14th and 15th. Your entry ticket will be money well spent.
