Green Valley Garden Ward 21, situated in the old dormitory township of Sizinda in the west of the city, has displayed great determination and unity of purpose in the way the members are handling their projects.

Zimbabwe Development Democracy Trust (ZDDT) horticulture consultant, Yvonne Berkhout, has put leftover fruits and vegetables to good use by producing pickles and chutney under the MaSiziba label as part of the trust’s “value addition” drive.

Orchards make up a growing component of ZDDT supported gardens as they, not only broaden the value and range of nutrition in the diet, but provide a variety of materials for jam manufacture.

Green Field Garden members were fascinated by the new vegetable drying machine which was acquired by Zimbabwe Development Democracy Trust (ZDDT) from Lance Edwards.
