Public Realm
At Meristem Design, we help create greener, healthier and more vibrant public spaces, from flood-reducing rain gardens through to interactive pocket parks.
Rain Gardens
Transforming surface runoff into a sustainable solution, rain gardens capture rainfall before it enters the piped network and either releases it slowly into the network or allows it to infiltrate into the ground, preventing flooding.
Pocket Parks
Pocket parks are small, multifunctional public spaces that revitalise underused areas of towns and cities. The diverse green spaces create safe, social and biodiverse spots for people to relax, interact, and enjoy nature.
Nature Gardens
Nature Gardens create immersive green spaces that bring people closer to the natural world. We transform unused urban spaces into thriving green environments for communities, schools and nature, creating immersive spaces that support outdoor education, wellbeing, and biodiversity.
Design
We specialise in designing beautiful, sustainable urban greening solutions and products that bring nature into public, commercial and residential spaces. From concept to final design, we work closely with clients to ensure that every element is crafted to meet their unique needs, aesthetic preferences, and sustainability goals.
Fabrication
We provide high-quality, in-house fabrication services tailored to the needs of urban greening projects. Composed of skilled welders and carpenters, our fabrication team brings each project from concept to completion using precision and exceptional craftsmanship.
