Susan Ogeno’s city backyard is breathtaking. In a city that is rapidly becoming a concrete jungle, her garden is overflowing with flowers and trees in every corner. There is a well-manicured lawn near the display of vibrant colours.

The carpet-like grass and mature trees at Ms Ogeno’s garden at River Drive No 58 off Thika Road, make one feel like taking off their shoes and walking barefoot. The air is fresh. Her townhouse home is now reminiscent of a grower’s paradise, which spends lots of time countering the bleakness of being alone in her house. To her grandchildren, it is affectionately known as ‘grandma’s jungle’.
