Planting

The grounds of the Timothy Centre are really starting to take shape with the planting of a truck full of new flowers P1020483, shrubs and tree seedlings from the nurseries in Kampala. We also have been collecting plant cuttings from various places we have visited and from a very generous neighbour, Ali, who has been cultivating a large orchard and gardens very near the Timothy Centre.

Uganda is blessed with wonderful growing conditions for all sorts of tropical plants and we have had ideal weather this week for planting with light rains and cool days. Some sun to top it off in the late afternoons has been perfect!

Karl and his crew of local mP1020504en who are working on the landscaping have worked very hard to beautify the site... a huge task considering it was nearly 50 acres of bush, farmland and wetland when we took possession. The guest house compound will be a lovely site for visitors to relax and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation.

The grounds of the Timothy Girls’ College, where building construction is going ahead full steam now, will be the next task for the landscapers.
