Pick your tree
By Alice Raymond | Theme: History
One of the tallest trees of the forest, it is used as a fake teak for its close qualities. But one thing the teak definitively does not have, shutting it in the great timber wood, is its language. Yes, the Iroko can talk.
As we reflect on the season of love, we hope that love weaves its way through every aspect of your life, much like the intricate threads of cultural tapestries we explore together. 🙂
