The Wamzedu Botanical Garden in Kwenjalo Village, Sagalla Location, is an initiative of the Kishamba Community Improvement Organization (KCIO). The project is central to the conservation and regeneration of threatened endemic medicinal tree species, notably the African Cherry (Prunus africana), East African Greenheart (Warburgia ugandensis), and Wild Coffee (Coffea fadenii).
