The king of gardners and Obafemi awolowo university.
In those days at ife varsity it was said that if even the students had no water to drink the vice chancellor , Professor Ojetuni Aboyade would have still made provision to water the ornamental plants on campus.
years back I once compared aboyade to the king of Gardeners becauuse of his passion for parks and gardens on the campus.
So OAU campus was referred to as the worlds most beautiful campus!
On the day coincidentally I wrote on OAU Ife and Paris!
Obafemi awolowo universty ife was in the news now following a release on September 15 2023 the anniversary of the death of the King of Gardeners!
The king of gardeners and Gardener to the King, Le Nôtre gave the "French garden" its noble reputation. Responsible for the most beautiful gardens of the 17th century, he made Versailles his greatest masterpiece, earning himself a large fortune and international fame.
