I am Joshua Ajowele, I am studying for an MSc. in Plant Diversity @UniofReading and am currently looking at the effect of cutting dates on the restoration of species-rich meadows #BlackBotanistsWeek

My #BlackBotanicalLegacy was from my mother. She was not formally educated but she had a farm where she provided fresh vegetables for the community and food for insects.

Prof Olubukunola Oyesiku has been has been really inspiring in my #BlackBotanicalLegacy. Leading 138 students through the forest to observe the diversity of cryptogams and their habitat for a Plant Diversity module, ogun Nigeria

At the base of this Cola gigantea, we found Trichomanes mettenii, a member of the Hymenophyllaceae. #BlackBotanistsWeek

I have been able to visit some places with diverse means of transportation due to Botany. On our way to Chappal Hendu, Taraba, Nigeria.
