I have been so excited to do this project since Katie came to me with wonderful ideas and a very open mind.
I’ve wanted to incorporate a number of elements of this project since I started Superbloom. I ADORE the painted concrete to look like tiles – such a brilliant way to brighten up any yard.
I also have been holding onto this mustard filing cabinet in a hope someone would believe me when I said they could be turned into great planters very easily. It looks incredible. I love reusing materials and this is such a good way to save old items from landfill.
The planting is really lovely, ensuring we feed the pollinators across the season, with an apple tree providing blossom in spring, and echinacea and achillea providing later on into summer. We also added a jasmine and a wisteria because we wanted to make use of the wall space and grow upwards also.
Last but not least, John Fawcett created an incredible mural with some very tedious points of reference from me. Katie asked for a white rose – which was pushing at an open door because all three of us are from Yorkshire, and she also wanted a white dove, which is a lovely touch at the edge of the main wall.
I have absolutely loved doing this project and I would love to do more like this. Get in touch if you would like some help bringing a similar project to life!
