Oikos Ecological Solutions

The Oikos: Ecological Solutions Blog documents the journey of our small eco-enterprise, using ecological design principles and biophilic approaches to human spaces. By bridging between architecture, landscape and community we can change the way we interact with the environment. Climate action and regenerative design is our way forward and we bring all our experience in wildlife, greening, and ecological technologies to solve the problems we face collectively today.

So many #fern species where I'm at in the #foothills of the #centralhighlands of #beautifulceylon. Each of these two was at least 50 feet long and #together they had #enveloped a huge tree nearby. #oikoses #ecodesigner #botanical #observations #fernlove #climbingfern #biodiversity #plantlife #mapping

Just spent a whole day scratching my head trying to #identify this interesting #plant, funny that it's even called #morningnoonandnight. A native of Brazil, #brunsfelsia #blooms change colour from #purple to #white. This one is also beautifully #fragrant. #oikoses #srilanka #plantlife #toxic #tropicalflora

Another one of my #favourite #native #seasonalplants is the #aptlynamed #superior #glory #vine. It's taken 2 years for our first few, going to take another 3-5 to establish a decent size #population. #oikoses #gardeninglife #monsoon #gloriosa #flowers #specialclimbers

About Me

Gautam Muralidharan
I'm very much a people person. I just prefer plants and music more. I guess music people and plant people are somewhere in between.
