We are passionate about ecology. we believe that the pleasure we take from natural materials is an extension of the pleasure we take from nature itself. So the more of both we can include in the spaces we inhabit the better.
Gnarly bits of wood in a garden, a whole living roof or simply a windowsill wide enough for plant pots- we try and leave space for nature and habitat.
We have established living roofs and gardens in locations from urban streets to SSSI Salt marsh.
Off-setting Sedums against rusty steel edging creates a satisfying contrast on the Raft living roof.
Mixed habitat roof on minimal substrate in harsh marine environment.
We planted wild flower annuals to quickly establish a vibrant hub for nature in this newly landscaped garden.
Hottentot fig (carpobrutos edulis) on the Raft. This living roof had to be very light and take up the curve of the roof.
The green roof on Rebus Stone is meters from the sea and very exposed to salty strong winds. This living roof survies with no extra watering on minimal substrate.
Even sedums create valuable habitat and nectar.
With the right choice of plants, anything can harbour life!
