A few days ago, we were inspired by 3 young girls who were upcycling pastic bottles for gardening (UPB Plant Nursery Pots). Last week, we were super inspired when we came across this UPB Vertical Garden in Ntabessi Quarter in Nkwen.
Unfortuantely, we didn’t get a chance to talk to the author of the garden but we learned from the neighbor that he learned about how to make a UPB Vertical Garden from our Facebook Video Post.
We have agreed to have a rendez-vous with this young change-maker next week during which we shall assist him in the production of the UPB Vertical Garden as well as support him with some seeds and seedlings of vegetables to grow in his garden.
He also made some UPB Plant Nursery Pots and he is growing vegetables in them.

Can you identify the plant growing in the UPB Plant Nursery Pot?
