Magana Flowers understands the importance of maintaining environmental balance. As such certain areas of the farm have been allocated to forestry conservation. The management team actively and continuously looks for areas within the premises to plant trees thus ensuring continued sustainability and improvement of the environment.
On average we plant 10, 000 trees a year. As a result of the planting of many, mainly indigenous trees, several different bird species have inhabited the area. Magana Flowers is therefore responsible for preserving and increasing the birdlife, adding to the environment’s natural beauty and minimizing the occurrence of soil erosion.

Magana Flowers has clear policies on the use of chemicals and fertilizers. Chemicals that are banned in Kenya or by the World Health Organization are not used. Chemicals and fertilizers are used in minimal quantities necessary to maintain quality and to keep the flowers disease free. In addition, employees who are involved in the spraying of chemicals must adhere to the company policies of protective clothing. We have in the past hired consultants to access our environmental practices and ensure that we are maintaining high environmental standards.

Water is the source of life, even for our flowers. At Magana Flowers we have 4 main sources of water: 5 reservoirs, 10 boreholes, our manmade dam and the Kikuyu River. We collect rainwater into our reservoirs and use these as our main supply of water. When our reservoir levels are very low, we use our dam and boreholes as a supply of water. The Kikuyu River is used only as a last resort. We have however, planted enough trees to serve as a water catchment area. In addition, we have constructed underground soak pits to prevent chemical water from seeping back into the environment. This soak pits are constructed from steel and concrete.

As our mission statement affirms, “We are committed to continuously maintaining, protecting and improving our environment consistently with sustainable development for current and future generations.”
