Some school children of Grade 8 including staffs of the Dhaka Project helped her. She bought some flower plants from Uttara, Dhaka and also received some donated plants from the Land owner Mr. Lehaj Uddin. A Gardening team consisting of Grade 8 students Al Amin, Tipu Sultan, Rubel & some others will be the caretaker of the Garden.
