Whether you were looking for our site, or you have just stumbled across us, welcome to the Gibson's corner of the web.  But why the name “grass Mats & Baobabs”? you may be asking.

If I were to describe the baobab tree, I would suggest it looked like the worst case of arthritis amongst plant life known to man, with its swollen trunk and disfigured limbs as they droop downwards with a seeming desire to joint their subterranean relations -- the roots. Where as others have suggested that the baobab looks like it has been picked out of the ground and stuffed back in upside-down.

Now apart from us sometimes feeling how the baobab looks there is no real deep significance in the title only that “Grass mats & Baobabs” make up part of the surroundings we live and work in in the north of Burkina Faso.

We hope you enjoy our web site.
