Following successful schemes in Kent, Meristem Design were appointed by Ashford Council to design and install a seating area to bring life to the town centre. This temporary pilot scheme delivers some interventions that link to key themes from the Town Centre Reset – integrated play, feature lighting, temporary public realm and outdoor seating. If successful this could lead to further, more permanent features in the future.
After our success at the Chelsea Flower Show we are delighted that the RHS have once again asked us to design and supply living walls for another of their shows.
This week in the wonderful grounds of Hampton Court Palace we have 3 living walls:
A double sided herb wall consisting of more than 700 fragrant, edible herbs.
And two 3x2m living walls situated at the entrances planted with vibrant salvia and achillea to grab your attention.
We are delighted to announce that our Parklets in Hammersmith have won an award for its “wider commitment to delivering green spaces, cleaner air and promoting cycling”.
The Parklets won under the Community Partnership’s Social & Environmental Sustainability category and has been praised for being ‘an innovative business model.’
Meristem were at the forefront of the Mayor of London’s new drive to clean up our city’s air last week - installing green screens, as well as some other planting, in three schools around London during half term.
Wyvil Primary School in South Lambeth, Robin Hood Junior School in Sutton, and Christopher Hatton Primary School in Holborn are now the happy beneficiaries of our urban greening, providing a cleaner and healthier environment for their pupils to learn and play in.
Meristem returned to St Peter’s Eaton Square C of E School in the heart of London for a second phase of Pollution Reducing Green Screens to improve air quality in the playground for its pupils, staff, parents and visitors.
Meristem installed 25m of 1m high Hedera Helix Woerner Green Screens in bespoke powder-coated steel planters.
We also added an an internal Live Picture filled with 6 fern varieties at the top of the stairs where it can enjoy maximum visibility from the children and staff.
