Bag Garden
£9.00
This Bag Garden charity gift helps farmers in rural Africa grow enough to support themselves and their families in the face of climate crisis.
Bag gardens are a simple and sustainable way to grow vegetables in small spaces, whether in Africa or in your garden!
A hessian sack filled with a mixture of soil and compost around a central column of stones, bag gardens filter water to vegetables planted in the top and around the sides. With this technique it’s not long before families are growing a diverse range of colour vegetables to add vital nutrients to every meal.

“Before Ripple Effect, we didn’t know about techniques like bag gardens. We have different structures now like this and also a keyhole garden. It’s very beneficial in the dry season when we can’t access water as it uses little water. In the last dry season, we grew Swiss chard and we now don’t need to spend money to buy vegetables at the market. I’ll be making more like it.”
