Bulawayo's community gardens boost economic activity

ZDDT’s Pumula South facilitated nutritional garden
 In a move that Bulawayo’s Ward 27’s community described as a worthy investment, ZDDT’s Pumula South facilitated nutritional garden has become primary source of vegetables for local vendors.The vendors are now openly commending the gardeners by telling this Correspondent that the garden was supporting their own enterprise.
When this garden started, people overlooked it as a flop, but here it is now, people are getting their orders from this garden.
People are encouraged to  join the garden club, as this might help many jobless people since the economy in Zimbabwe is not good and thus unepmloyment rates are high. 
About eleven vegetable vendors, operating in the vicinity of the project have been saved from travelling to City’s Main market, as they are conveniently walking to buy their fresh vegetables at this nearby allotment where the local women make up the membership.
The saving on travel, to and from the city markets each day, amounts to an average of  sixty dollars a month.
