The Lost Gardens of Heligan

The second part of my trip was to the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall. This was a great place to visit with such a range of spaces to visit. We listened to a detailed talk about the history of the site which was very interesting. There were some beautiful plants that have been there for 200+ years along with many exotic look tree ferns spread throughout the site. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and will definitely be visiting again.

The concept behind the design is based from Starling murmurations. These collective displays contain hundreds of thousands of individual birds to create this amazing arial spectacle that can be seen dancing across the evening sky in Autumn. This collaborative coming together of individuals is the intention for the Alney Island site. With individuals coming together on site to form a collective for communication, recreation and relaxation.

My next step is to develop the pathways and walking routes through the site before I take it into CAD to be drawn and then rendered.

Walking down the Honeybourne Line

 I regularly walk down the Honeybourne Line in Cheltenham as I head to and from the train station. Specifically the section between the station and the Churchill Gardens. As the year change the walk through the space changes as the plants lose and regain their leaves. When walking back today in the sun, the space looked the best I have seen it. Hemlock, Horse chestnut and nettle were all in full swing creating a bold green wall.
