Working with a landscape designer, an exciting and innovative approach is being drawn up which will not only stop the graffiti vandalism but will provide a valuable community resource. In brief, the plan is to develop a series of vertical gardens throughout the reserve. These gardens will be available to community groups, businesses and schools to design and use. Alongside of this will be plans to develop a bioretention system, utilising the storm drain which runs through the site.
An exhibition outlining the ideas is planned for July and will give a chance for people to see how the project has progressed and how they can be involved in it future development.
I will post more designs and ideas as they are produced. For information about bioretention and vertical gardens please use the links provided on the right.
Thanks
