Key Hole Gardens at work in Africa

A great little video made in Lesotho, showing how a group of schoolchildren made a keyhole garden. The charity Send a Cow showed them how to make it and the children can now make their own at home and have more food. Please support us and help more people farm sustainably - you can use www.sendacowgifts.org.uk and you can make one of your own by looking at www.sendacow.org.uk/africangardens
