The school is located in Mpumu village, Ntenjeru sub county, Mukono district. They have about 279 square meters in land and can have more in case they want to expand. The garden is worked on by the whole school according to class. They grow crops such as cabbages, “sukuma wiki” (collard greens), eggplant and some bananas. They dig trenches to trap water for the garden.
Mulch is sometimes used in the garden to protect plants from direct sunlight. There is the need for training in seed preservation and seed banks in order to preserve local varieties as most of the seeds currently used are purchased.
