Luke, Thank you for your comments and keep checking back with us Gardeners!

The proposal to build greenhouses in each community in the Gardens of Hope network is based on our having already built a greenhouse for Molapo High School. It was accomplished for $500 and took less than one day.

The amount of community support for SOLID's projects in Lesotho has been overwhelming, and we expect that, just as we had for our tree nursery building workshops, we will have more volunteers show up to build the greenhouses than we know what to do with. It means there is usually a great choir accompanying the builders! In Africa, music is the fuel for life.

The communities are all in the same district, but since this country relies on foot and horse transport more than on cars, even groups 20 miles distant from one another are going to be producing and selling greenhouse produce to different markets.
