Stratford Street Planters
We were commissioned by Stratford Original, the local Business Improvement District (BID) to refresh some planters in front of local businesses.
We love improving public spaces, & that’s one of the main things BIDs exist for, so it’s a natural fit for us to collaborate to green the busy streets of Stratford in east London.
The street planters are outside a selection of shops, restaurants & pubs across the area, in a variety of locations from full sun to deep shade. There was also a large bed with mature planting that needed tidying up and replacing in many cases. So we laid out a new selection of plants that could cope with the local conditions.
