Their holidays were spent tilling, planting and weeding crops grown on soil. Today, they run a successful urban gardening business that is nothing like what they grew up with. Fred Mwithiga and his cousin Fred Kimani are the founders of Vertical Gardens, a business that encourages urban dwellers to grow their organic food and have fun while at it.
“Vertical Gardens is an innovative solution for urban gardening. Through hydroponics, we create farming solutions that are soil-free, maximise space and yield and are water efficient,” Mwithiga says. These solutions include the vertical pouch garden, vertical stacked garden, vertical tower garden among others.
