Date: 14 September 2019
Location: Uhuru Park, Nairobi
Status: trees verified

On 14 September 2019, 47 schoolchildren planted the Living Legacy Garden at Uhuru Park: 50 trees in total, 47 for Kenya’s 47 counties, one for Kenya itself, one for the international community, and one for Green Africa Foundation. The children planted the trees themselves rather than watching them planted for them. Seven years on, all 50 are verified alive.

This is also why 14 September became the date for Plant Your Age Day. The same date, seven years apart, now carries two milestones for the movement.
