What you need to know:

  • To ensure he ends up with quality seedlings, Yassin Yahya cleans the nursery regularly and sheds them from direct sun.
  • He also uses good quality soil at the nurseries before the seedlings are transferred into the bags.

The sky is clear, showing no signs that it will rain soon, as the Seeds of Gold team drives towards Bwaga Bei Farm in Tezo, Kilifi County. 

Yassin Yahya, 43, is on the one-acre farm checking on his tree seedlings and fruit trees when we arrive.
