If Prachi Shah were to be a flower in a farm, she would be a grafted desert rose. Sprouting and growing slowly, it increases in colour and beauty and when fully grown, a nature marvel – gorgeous with spectacularly coloured trumpeting blooms.

Why a desert rose, I ask. “Well, it would describe, to a fault, my journey as a landscape gardener working with ornamental plants,” Ms Shah says from her Mombasa-based flower farm, Prachi Creations.
