Ghalema Easton - Creating Eden
Since the lockdown began last year, pensioner Ghalema Easton has been helping to transform the verges on a number streets in the neighbouring suburbs of Plumstead and Diep River into lush food gardens and by so doing is helping scores of people, some of whom may be struggling to feed their families during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Easton said: “When the virus broke out in Cape Town my husband and I were out of town. Watching the news, that feeling of "food security" urgency started eating at me again. I made a video basically telling people how I feel and how important the collecting of seeds and growing your own food is, and I posted it on Facebook.” “For a couple of months it was just my verge garden, until one day a lady pulled into my driveway, very excited to find me on the verge and asked me to please help her to convert her verge as well."
