KENYA · GUIDE 0752 · EDITION 4.2
Garden bed installation in Kenya
Install a garden bed with agreed soil preparation, plant selection and drainage.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional ground-level garden-bed job: prepare and plant one owner-approved 3×2 m ornamental bed with 18 identified nursery plants in an agreed layout. Include a measured outline, local horticultural soil/plant selection, planting and care handover. Exclude retaining structures, excavation around unknown services, drainage engineering, contaminated-soil treatment and chemical weed control. Eighteen plants is a design example whose spacing depends on actual species/mature size, not a universal density.
