How to make a Keyhole Garden - Starter Kits
Advice for two designs of the African garden
Keyhole Gardens are a great addition to any school grounds and a really useful technique used across Send a Cow projects. And you can buy a Starter Kit to get you going for £10, by calling us on 01225 874222 or using the order form. The kits contain seven seed types commonly grown in Uganda, growing and building advice, info on how the crops are used in Uganda and coloured seed markers. The two files below also help to show the Ugandan style version and the rocky Lesothan version. See how we made a Ugandan style garden in the UK in the Powerpoint and then make your own using our kit and enter the competition! Preview videos featuring keyhole gardens from our Cabbages and Cowpats DVD using the link below.
