We are delighted to unveil our latest achievement at this year's RHS Flower Show—a remarkable living wall showcased on the bandstand. Our design highlights lush green foliage, carefully selected to complement the exquisite palette inspired by Chelsea's renowned colours. Spanning an impressive 24 square meters, this living wall boasts over 1000 meticulously chosen plants.
We are delighted to announce that we have been selected to partner with Lambeth Council to design and deliver the Community Parklets in Lambeth. This is an amazing opportunity for the community to come together and create some truly special green spaces that everyone can enjoy.
Lambeth Council is looking to build 25 new community parklets in one of the largest programs of its kind. Residents are invited to submit their own designs, which could include planters, tables, seating, children's play activities, cycle storage and lots of colourful planting to create new green spaces.
As the world continues to battle the ever-increasing problem of air pollution, Green Living Screens offer a sustainable and effective solution. Green screens use living plants to absorb harmful pollutants from the air and release clean oxygen back into the environment. Not only do they improve air quality, but they also provide a natural aesthetic to any urban or industrial space.
Meristem Design have recently completed another project in the Bath area. This time, the installations were focused in Tweton, a smaller, residential area just outside of Bath City Centre. We also installed Planters with graphics on to support the parking of both regular and cargo bikes for visitors to the area. These planters were planted up by a local community group that engaged in the project from the beginning and will look after and maintain the plants and planters going forward.
Mentmore Terrace, next to London Fields Overground station, has been the latest location to receive two more parklets in the London borough of Hackney. The council continues to move forward in their efforts of reducing the dominance of cars on our roads through their transport strategy, with one module housing space for 8 bicycles, and the other for 2 cargo bikes.
Our latest Parklet installed at Imperial College London - White City Campus - is a pleacher seat inspired design with tiered seating. The Parklet is installed on a new road surface and will serve as a bus stop which ferries students between ICL's 2 major campuses. The installation of this Parklet completes a larger greening project which started last year. The project involved Parklets, wildflower meadows, semi circular bench and planter modules, raised flower beds and much more!
With the autumn planting season drawing to a close, we've worked with the Borough of Waltham Forest to help complete another phase of rain gardens. Consisting of over 110m2 of SUDs, as well as tree pits and planters, we've added further locations to their Coppermill scheme to boost its effectiveness, as well as working on new schemes.
