Tyisa Nabanye is a non profit organisation located (without a lease) on the slopes of Signal Hill between Tamboerskloof and the Bo Kaap, on the old military base. Started in August 2013, this collaboration between food security activists, neighbours and people living on the site aims to create a space in the city where everyone is welcome to explore the possibilities of growing food in an urban environment. Various project undertakings include an organic vegetable garden, an indigenous nursery, a weekly market and workshops and events that encompass our goals of food security and employment creation.
