Victoria Special School, Birmingham.

Victoria Special School in Birmingham won the peoples millions and developed an outdoor space for their students to interact with each other.
It is a very well considered and finely polished design with a seamless network of wheelchair friendly pathways winding through their raise-bed area and solar-dome, which will become an outdoor/indoor learning space where the students can just get messy and plant and play in all weathers and feel some direct connection with the weather and seasonal changes... I love it! and could instantly see its effect on the children and staff alike.

My part in this was to create some seed form sculpture around the garden - namely poppy heads and physalis - and to create height and structure, the next phase of the project will see a living willow dome planted in the new year.

ITV came to the opening and filmed performances and the carnival atmosphere.

The Landscape Show at Olympia Kensington.

Last week we created a show feature for the this year's Landscape Show at Olympia Kensington,
Olympia really is lovely inside, with lots of natural light flooding in and the whole show was very well... erm... organised... by the organisers!
The 2 day event saw a steady flow of professionals seeking out its charms, aimed at urban garden spaces with a huge wealth of ideas and creativity for lovely green interiors too.
We put together a poppy and honey bee installation dressed with hostas, bark and our handsome oak bench.

Here is a view from the balcony, can you spot us?
