Happy Mandela Day
The Mandela 8 project asked GTDT a number of weeks ago to get involved with the barrel garden project.
The barrel garden project comes from when Mandela had a vegetable patch in the prison courtyard on Robben Island, this is where he tended to his chilli and tomato plants.
It was only when he transferred to another prison that he presided over a rooftop garden which had been made from sawn- off oil drums that was filled with soil.
So after speaking with Nze and Sonia from the Mandela8 project, GTDT got cracking with ordering the items that would be needed to get this project up and running.
And to celebrate Mandelas birthday we have made the first 4 barrel gardens that will be going to local schools before they break for the summer holiday.
Each barrel is made up of a Lemon or an Olive tree and 5 herbs plants.
We got a stencil made so that we could spray the logo on.
Got some help from the team at the Bridge

Mandela Day - Thursday 18 July 2019
Nelson Mandela International Day (or Mandela Day) is an annual international day in honour of Nelson Mandela, celebrated each year on 18 July, Mandela's birthday. The day was officially declared by the United Nations in November 2009, with the first UN Mandela Day held on 18 July 2010. However, other groups began celebrating Mandela Day on 18 July 2009.
Mandela Day is not meant as a public holiday, but as a day to honour the legacy of Nelson Mandela, South Africa's former President, and his values, through volunteering and community service.
Mandela Day is a global call to action that celebrates the idea that each individual has the power to transform the world, the ability to make an impact.
The Mandela Day campaign message is:"Nelson Mandela has fought for social justice for 67 years. We're asking you to start with 67 minutes." "We would be honoured if such a day can serve to bring together people around the world to fight poverty and promote peace, reconciliation and cultural diversity," according to a statement issued on Mandela's behalf.
