Landscaping and beautification was once seen as a job for school dropouts and the never-do-well of the society, is now a money spinner, and with more people going into it. It is certain that beautification and landscaping help make your compound and environment beautiful; but this is not the only advantage that landscaping offers, It offers relaxation spots to ease off stress and boost tourism.Shola Adekoya saw this revelation that he could make a living from beautification and landscaping, hence,he started Shodex Beautification Landmark Limited,Anthony Village, Lagos and no fewer than 1500 picnickers visit the garden during the festivities.Justpye crew who visited the garden on easter monday, report that, musical blast with a variety of danceable songs at the background while picnickers enjoyed the funfair shows at the garden...
The zoo which houses various animals like
monkey, tortoise, ostrich, geese, crocodile, parrot,and other exotic creatures,
as well as swimming pool were opened to thousands of picnickers. The garden is located under the Anthony bridge off Ikorodu
road. As soon as you make the exit, you turn right and there is a parking lot
under the bridge too.
According to the initiator of this
garden, Shola Adekoya said, '' i have always been interested in
beautification and gardening since I was a little child because, as a
child, I loved seeing houses with beautiful gardens. That made me to start
collecting flowers and planting gardens right from my childhood, and that hobby
is now my mainstay''.
We also
have other means of generating income, so we are not only into beautification
and landscaping, but also have different spaces in the garden for rent for
events.
We also
have school children who come for excursions and we teach them about the
environment, global warming, how they can set up a business like this, among
others and we charge per child.
Due to his visible commitment and passion for
gardening and the unquantifiable experience gathered over the years, Shodex
Beautification Landmark Limited has been awarded various beautification
contracts by the Lagos State government.
