December 2024:

In 2014, GLH master gardener Horiguchi sensei took a number of seedlings to Addis Ababa, the headquarters of the UN Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). Hosted by then Executive Secretary Dr. Carlos Lopes, the baby seedlings were entrusted to the ground managers and gardeners. Thanks to Dr. Lopes (shown during recent visit to Hiroshima), we have now received updates on the little saplings, valiantly growing in the high altitude climate of Addis Ababa.
