GARDEN DESIGN
USING INSTANT LIVING
SCREENS
TO CREATE A BIOPHILIC ENVIRONMENT
TO ENHANCE HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND
WELLBEING OR ZEN AND THE ART OF INSTANT
GREEN SCREENING BIOPHILIA
East of Eden’s first involvement
with the supply and installation of
instant living screens was with ‘The
Rain Chain’ garden by Wendy Allen,
which won the Best Sustainable
Garden and a Gold medal at the RHS
Hampton Court Flower Show 2009.

As soon as the garden was
completed, it became apparent
that, in contrast to the use of a
fence or wall, the instant green
screen boundary created a sense
of tranquillity and connection with
the natural world that permeated
into the whole garden. Since then
East of Eden have often pondered
why a simple green boundary could
have created such a powerful effect
on me. Could our interaction with
nature be operating at a deeper
subconscious level, reflecting our
evolutionary origins and cultural
development.
