Entebbe sits on a peninsula in Lake Victoria, next to botanical gardens founded in 1898. This patch is about the streets around them: growing spaces for families, shade trees along walking routes, and a network of residents who look after them. It is matched with a rewilding project two hundred kilometres to the west.
