After our success at the Chelsea Flower Show we are delighted that the RHS have once again asked us to design and supply living walls for another of their shows.
This week in the wonderful grounds of Hampton Court Palace we have 3 living walls:
A double sided herb wall consisting of more than 700 fragrant, edible herbs.
And two 3x2m living walls situated at the entrances planted with vibrant salvia and achillea to grab your attention.
We are delighted to announce that our Parklets in Hammersmith have won an award for its “wider commitment to delivering green spaces, cleaner air and promoting cycling”.
The Parklets won under the Community Partnership’s Social & Environmental Sustainability category and has been praised for being ‘an innovative business model.’
Meristem Design further established our status as the leading designer and constructor of Parklets in the UK by installing Europe’s largest Parklet in Perth, Scotland, and beginning the role out of a series of six Parklets in Islington!
Meristem were asked to provide a dramatic backdrop to the international award winning artist, David Harber, who's outdoor sculptures grace some of the worlds most prestigious residences, hotels and public spaces. His works are inspired by the interaction of light, reflection and nature which perfectly complements our vibrant living wall. The 4.5m x 3.6m living wall consisted of over 650 indoor plant varieties.
Last week Meristem installed three Parklets on St Mary’s Axe, in the City of London, as part of the Active City Network initiative by the City of London Corporation.
The aim of the initiative is to utilise pedestrianisation and green infrastructure in urban design to create cleaner, safer, and more pleasant public spaces for the 513,000 workers in the city to enjoy - with a view to encouraging a healthier and more active lifestyle.
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.
