Association of culture at the Garden of Skills, Malanti, Eswatini

The cultivation beds in the Malanti garden follow the principles of permaculture. 

The women combine different species on the same bed that are mutually beneficial and grow compatibly in the same space. On this particular bed, the women have planted chives on a regular basis, which can act as a repellent against cabbage moth for example. You can also see the young fertilizer trees in the centre of the beds. They are still only 10 cm tall but will soon provide shade and fertility to the crops.
