Seema Sarkar-Manji’s simple garden on an apartment on sixth floor in Nairobi.

Seema says everyone should experience the joy of growing plants, whether one has a big garden or a window-sill.

With time, Seema says she has certainly become more proactive and get plants and soil from different roadside vendors around the city.
