‘City Living’ by Kate Gould

Project Specification

The planting explores the possibilities of using hardy, tropical and shade-tolerant plants to create leafy and inviting small gardens in densely populated areas. This multi-level garden was designed to highlight the importance of greening inner city spaces, not just for residents enjoyment but to benefit the environment as a whole. With three trees (provided by Deepdale) included in the scheme and all planted on different levels, a reliable fixing system was required to secure them in order to provide a safe environment for visitors to the showground. A Hippophae rhamnoides on the top floor and two Crataegus on the mezzanine and the ground levels were anchored using the Platipus Rootball Fixing System – Plati-Mat®.
