Designing Hope developed a set of educational games to raise awareness among young children about sustainable agriculture, nutrition, and biodiversity.
These games have been designed, graphically developed and produced in recent years in limited quantities, using recycled materials, to meet the needs of educational gardens supported by Designing Hope and The Ivory Foundation in Southern Africa, West Africa and France.
Given the interest generated by these various games, Designing Hope has decided to publish them in order to make them available to a wider audience.
And so the Friends of the Vegetable Garden Gift Box was born…

The Friends of the Vegetable Garden Box Set
It includes nine original games designed by the association, which are also available for purchase individually.
The cards were printed in France, the boxes in Italy, and the games were assembled in collaboration with ASEI in La Plaine St Denis, an association specializing in supporting, educating, and integrating people with disabilities and those who are dependent and vulnerable.
The Dessine l’Espoir association also partnered with the Garden of Skills sewing workshop in Eswatini for this box set, which produced six textile memory games, each containing 16 squares in a cotton bag (two feature squares of traditional shweshwe fabric in different patterns and colors, and the other four with printed vegetables that also need to be matched).
