The union street urban orchard
1.Heather Ring, Wayward plants
Heather Ring was the enthusiast who initiated the project, taking on a commission for the London Festival of Architecture. She designed the union street urban orchard, has been employing the help of local community and enthusiastic volunteers to regenerate this currently disused space.
"Plants exchange"
She asked us "what is a community garden and what will we need before set up a garden?" She used to see abandoned plants on the way and she started to exchange and take plants.
During the London Festival of Architecture, she designed the Urban orchard which has been transformed into an urban orchard and community garden.
This collaborative project developed by the Architecture Foundation, Bankside open space trust, ProjectARKs and Wayward Plant Registry.
The site has a series of workshops and activities.
Abandoned X-mas trees
She also shown us the abandoned x-mas tree epidemic. As these threes are chopped, put on pedestals, decorated and discarded.
