    Here at Send a Cow, we understand the value of Bag Gardens, enabling families to grow much-needed food in cramped conditions. Training in Bag Garden construction is part of the work we undertake with farmers across seven African countries.

    We also teach children in the UK about Bag Gardens so they can learn more about African growing techniques.

    More information about Send a Cow can be found at http://www.sendacow.org.uk

    We also have a video demonstrating how to build a Bag Garden - see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul0kQ_2lvrE
