Filling Potting Potting Bags - Nairobi Dam Tree Nursery
Red soil on our hands
Morning at the Nairobi Dam Park tree nursery began with grit under fingernails. Empty potting bags lay in long lines, waiting like quiet promises along the Ngong River in Zone 2.
Brigadier Joseph Muracia, CEO of Nairobi Rivers, helped coordinate the day — one more step in the Nairobi Rivers Regeneration Project. We scooped soil, tamped each bag, and straightened rows until our shoulders ached.
A journey of a thousand miles starts with one heavy sack, someone said, and we believed it. The air smelled of earth and river mist.
Watch our posts for the next nursery Saturday at Nairobi Dam — bring gloves if you have them; we share spades when the queue grows.
