  • 6 - 006: Book Review: Plant Photobook for Greenhorns by Amos Atumye Alao

    On  today's episode of Our Landscape Nigeria, I review a book, Plant Photobook for Greenhorns, by Amos Atumye Alao, a book about plants in the tropical region of Africa, specifically aimed at Nigeria, The book is split into 2 major parts, the first part which covers topics like how to use the book, factors to consider when selecting plants, watering your plants and all other general need-to-know of plants. 

    The second section of the book delves into the different groupings of plant types from shrubs to lilies, to Palms, trees, grass, etc, you will find over 150 selection of plants in the book with information on best conditions to plant them, how to care for them and what to do when they are sick.

    If you want a copy of this book, you can reach out to the author Amos Alao on his website at https://amosalao.com/book/ or visit Okadabooks to get a copy https://okadabooks.com/user/AmosALAO

  • 5 - 005: Landscape Architecture and it's problems, what are we doing?

    On today's episode of Our Landscape Nigeria, we discuss a 2017 article written by Win Phyo, a Landscape Architect practising in the UK made a list of some of the problems plaguing the Landscape Architecture profession, some of these problems are compelling and they span far beyond  the UK where she practices and the US where we have some of the first Landscape Architects, some of these problems are global and I sat with Amos Alao, a Landscape Architect in Nigeria and Win to discuss these  problems on a global scale and as the author what she thinks is  radically different from when the article was written in 2017 and now in  2020, while a pandemic is ravaging the world, do we have more problems  now or does she think some of these problems highlighted in the article  are irrelevant today.
