Sheena Shah’s love for nature can only be fully understood when your eyes rest on her intimate, lush garden. Tucked away in Nairobi’s Westlands, one can hardly believe that a few metres from her home is a big shopping complex, lots of urban buildings, noise and pollution. Her garden is an oasis of calmness and a breath of fresh air.
“My parents moved here when I was born but I started these edible gardens in late 2012, after taking a permaculture design course,” Sheena says as she leads me into the garden whose floor is covered with thick, soft Zimbabwean grass.
