Stretchy hamstrings are essential for working close to the earth.


I assume this is the home of the garden caretaker.


On the trail was this notebook, likely dropped from one of the school buses. I think this student visited the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre before taking a lunch rest in the gardens.

Ted purchased a mango tree for the Jane Goodall Institute at this corner nursery.


Brian shows me that the mango tree is grafted to a common root that will grow anywhere. Grafting gives the mango tree the best chance for survival. Fruit is expected in 1.5 years.
