Over the half term week Meristem installed a staggering 350 meters of Ivy Green Screens across four schools, including a giant 160m long green screen at Prior Weston Primary School - the Mayor’s flagship school for his air quality audit initiative.
A Greener Easter for our School Break
No half term holidays for Meristem this February!
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.
Hammersmith A4 'Fly-Under' receives a Green Makeover to help Combat Air Pollution
There are few urban environments where the air quality is poorer than under a city flyover and the Hammersmith flyover is no exception. The solution: over 95m of Living Green Screens in custom made planters. These pollution reducing screens are part of Hammersmith BID's Business Low Emission Neighbourhood and funded by Hammersmith and Fulham Council.
