This Kenyan gardener works at Haller Park (aka. Bamburi Nature Trail), one of East Africa's great conservation success stories where a vast quarry wasteland has been rehabilitated and reforested, transformed from a lunar landscape back into a lush and self-sustaining ecosystem. Much of the conservation work undertaken here has become a model, especially for Africa and is visited by environmentalists, ecologists, water managers, agroforesters and farmers from all over the world.
Unexpectedly, this gardener approached me to have his picture taken, he chose the sapling to hold and I positioned him in front of a mature specimen of the same plant, which creates almost a halo behind him.
