On behalf of the London Borough of Lambeth, we embarked on a mission to design, construct, and install over 520 meters of 1.8m tall Hedera screens at 16 schools within 4 months, targeting pollution-affected areas. Our comprehensive approach included initial surveys, bespoke design, construction, and a 12-month maintenance plan, alongside essential training and handover for school staff, to protect students from air pollution and enhance environmental education.
The Benefits of Green Screens in Urban Design
Meristem Design partnered with the London Borough of Hillingdon to tackle the visual clutter posed by electrical cabinets in a local shopping precinct. The clever solution? Bespoke, powder-coated steel planters adorned with robust Hedera Helix Ivy forming aesthetic green screens. This initiative not only veiled the unsightly cabinets, but also enriched the locale with a dash of nature.

Meristem roll out more free Connecting Children with Nature Workshops
At Elmwood Infant School, 26 students participated in a children with nature workshop. The kids learnt about the importance of plants, from bees pollinating plants to the food we eat at home. They got their hands dirty planting an array of herbs, including sage, mint, rosemary, thyme, parsley and lavender.
