As the dry season heat slaps my face while the scorching sun robs the land of any little green colour that is left,most farms are at a go slow with only ploughing and anticipation for the long rains being on most if not all farmers mind.
Water is at the center of every farmers heart.So I could not stop thinking of ways to beautify my farm with trees yes, while I wait for the rains to pour down.The earlier I start the better the chance,most farmers don’t own a tree nursery despite it being simple to set up and a natural practice if you own a farm.
We mostly buy tree seedlings and they cost an arm and leg if your purchasing more than a dozen of them. Yet if you were to buy the seeds from a credible supplier such Kenya Forestry Service, you will not only go home with the seeds in hand, but with the knowledge of how to sow them.
The staff at Kenya Forestry Service are eager to teach you how to plant tress and take care of them right from the nursery to the fields. And with the long rains around the corner if you plant tree seeds now they would germinate in time for planting on the fields during the rain seasons leaving you with less work on your hands. While mother nature does her magic.
There several varieties of tress in Kenya but I can name just a few of them that can create a beautiful impression on your farm and can be handy while at the same time be a source of revenue.
