"I highly recommend the 2-day permaculture course to beginners seeking a solid foundation. It offers essential basics adaptable to various circumstances. Mlango Farm provided the ideal setting, allowing practical, hands-on experience in a real-world environment." - Smriti S. (August 2023)


"First and foremost as the gardener attending this course all the way from Narok County, I really appreciated the team for providing the space and encouraging all gardeners to share each other's stories as it was helpful to others. The team taught us many different techniques on how to manage and control the pests either by traditional ways. We hope to keep being introduced to many courses which benefit us. Community Permaculture can shifts our people from pesticide to the more natural ways of farming." ~ Daniel, Narok (Cohort 4, 2023)
