On the Landscape Side of things...

We've been doing lots of writing about the big Environmental Impact side of things down at our little business lately. Now for a brief stump on our landscape services, as we've just recently had a little milestone.

This is reportedly the next booming town in Botswana: Serowe, "Botswana's largest village". The combined budget for government upgrades/ new development in the area was over 1 billion, in the last financial year.

Here are some photos just in, of our contribution to building "Serowe City". This was a small design for landscape in one of the town shopping centres, now 90% installed, and we are at practical completion stage. (6 month maintenance phase now starts...)

Maybe note the use of rock features and native aloe plants. Something a bit radical to the eye of those who live in a world where water is plentiful and "landscaping" basically means "varying combinations of lawn, flower beds, and water features".





More to come...
