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.

Like some kind of #psychedelic #stinging #tram, a #nettlegrub walks on the #midrib of a #laburnum #leaf it has completely #devoured. There was on almost every leaf. I assume in a few days that my tree will be #defoliated. The #adultmoth is a native small scale pest on #mango, #coconut, #coffee and #cacao. #indigogreencamp #66 #cassiafistula #parasalepida #nightwalks #landscapecheck #dangersoftheworkplace

Just #harvested some of these #gemlike #fruits from the now dead #gloryvine plants. A #newgeneration of #seasonalplants will be #grown next year at a few of our #oikoses #projects, especially those focussed on #naturescaping and #nativeplants. #svcampsite #naturescape #wildscapes

Even while my #naturescapes are a #workinprogress it's easy to see how #thescreening will work, eventually #blocking the #built spaces and connecting the viewer to the #landscape and giving a feeling of #continuityofspace. #intimateconnections #mountains #westernghats #oikoses #landscapedesign #nativeplants #svcampsite

Although #fiercefaced, the #softshellturtle is actually quite a #shy and #inoffensive animal. In India unfortunately they are often #poached and sold illegally for their #meat. #indigogreencamp #herpstyle #flapshellturtle #lissemyspunctata #westernghats

Next one in the #bloom and #babyfruit series, a #bananatree (which is actually a herb and not a true tree) showing us how it's done. As each #bract peels back, a set of female flowers is exposed that when fertilised will become a row or a #hand of bananas. Only thing going through my mind is #getinmabelly. #musaparadisiaca #flower #fruitset #indigogreencamp #66 #organic #fruit

It's #notalways you get to see a #female #papaya #flower, even for the most #determined among us. So this was especially #goodtiming , getting #theprogression, both the #bloom and a #baby #fruit together. #indigogreencamp #66 #theones #thatsurvive #nowthrive

About Me

My photo
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.
