In 2022 we were invited by the Friends of Blythe Hill Fields to develop a plan for a community wildlife garden. Working together with the local community over several years we helped to consider a space to suit the multiple needs of different park-users. Our plan connects to the wider landscape with a nod to the heritage of the site - once an ancient woodland, and also the site of a former brickworks. Utilising the existing circulation routes of the park, with the addition of several new meandering pathways our design aims to encourage park-goers to stop and engage with the space. Key features included a series of low gabion walls filled with bricks and ceramics donated by the local community, and a series of bee posts to encourage wildlife habitats. The planting scheme was devised to withstand drought, rain and high winds. Rain water collection and redistribution was also considered.
