St Dominic’s Catholic School, Hackney

6 olive trees in oak planters, with benches between, were strategically placed in the main playground creating beautiful focal points and peaceful seating areas for the children. Mediterranean varieties of rosemary, curry plant and irises were planted at the base.

Oak raised beds were built along the back wall of the playground, housing ivy green screens to create a barrier between the playground and the busy Wick Road beyond. Herbs and fruits were also planted for the children, as well as 6 privets to fill the gaps in their existing hedge, further reducing the pollution.
