HORTICULTURE

Since in Kibera it normally hot all year round and it is also a semi-arid area and one day i was wondering what to do with an empty piece of land that my parents left me with.I evaluated all possible ways of turning it to a profitable area but i got discouraged because it either involved huge sums of capital or lots of risk taking.
One day as i was walking around the supermarket during a valentine day occasion i noticed that the prices of flowers was very high and they were onlu useful when they were fresh and that is where i got an idea.I thought to myself.I can get flower seeds at our local Agricultural store at a very cheap price i only have to find a way to irrigate the area and also how to find a way to choose the right seeds i could plant some crops.
Due to the success of the first plants i decided to expand the firm and now i grow vegetables which take a shorter time to grow.business was booming after i sold mu first bunch of flower at the local supermarket and paid me well for the commodities.I know gain both ways by selling flowers and vegetables.
