Please do not throw stones at me for asking this simple question jameni.
Why is it that many middle class bakenya property owners are not ashamed that they live in palatial mansions but their plot is unsightly bush?
In other words, why are many middle class bakenya seemingly unconcerned about landscaping? Sample what a difference good landscaping does to a plot/property. Na sio kazi mingi. 30 minutes or less a day and the bonus is it is good exercise. If you are too lazy teach your mfanyii to do it for you while you are at work or at your business.

And surely it cannot be the lack of money.Most blow thousands upon thousands per day on fombe and nyamchoms. Good landscaping costs little to nothing!

Ni hayo maoni yangu tu!

We are stressed with many things to worry about petty things like landscaping
If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

one of the beautiful things about travelling east and learning from other cultures was the concept of feng shui-harmonize the individual and the environment. Most of the stress will actually emanate from your home environment. If it is cluttered you will feel cluttered. Proper landscaping has a way of rejuvenating your life.

I would prefer unsightly bush to these hideous cabro filled plots any day. Imagine a 1/4 acre full of cabro and buildings tu. Whoever comes home to such a place will definitely suffer from clinical depression.

Also it seems Kenyans are allergic to flowers and flowerbeds even in high end estates despite our wonderful climate.










While we could be doing this....imagine the scent of roses and other flowers in your home all year round?
