MyWeku Gardens: Designing Signage
There are probably very few countries with as many advertisement signs as Ghana. They are everywhere.

MyWeku Gardens: The Logo redesign
In 2009 the original MyWeku logo was designed. The logo which featured the African continent depicted our area of interest. The logo was designed to be used mainly on our online blog.

Building the MyWeku Gardens wood fired Brick Oven
Call it what you may (brick, clay or masonry oven), nothing screams earthy and natural as a wood fired oven does. The hunt to find a skilled artisan to build our custom brick oven began in earnest 6 months ago. Several leads to get an expert oven builder led to nothing. Even a trip to […]
