Lemon Tree Trust

The Lemon Tree Trust aims to transform refugee camps and communities, one garden at a time.

You can donate seeds to help support people living in refugee and internally displaced people (IDP) camps.

The gardeners in Kurdistan grow a range of edibles and ornamentals and are willing to try new things in addition to the crops they know and love.

Favourite edibles include:

• courgette
• broad beans
• salad crops
• radish
• chard
• tomatoes
• sweetcorn
• carrots
• leafy herbs (parsley, coriander, etc)
• rocket.

Favourite ornamentals include:

• snapdragons
• violas
• petunias
• sunflowers
• zinnias
• lavender
• geraniums
• hollyhocks
• mint
• rosemary
• thyme

Any colourful annuals, biennials or perennials are welcome, as are pollinator plants – the gardeners in Domiz also keep bees and the Lemon Tree Trust is committed to improving the biodiversity and environment of the camps in which they work. They are very grateful for any seed you would like to donate.
