GARDEN DESIGN For a number of years, with acknowledged success, we have been using Mobilane’s Ivy, and other species of instant living screens, to enhance our garden and landscape designs. In many cases the specific client requirements are for privacy screening, natural security boundaries and air purification of sensitive areas, such as: • Schools • health spas • gymnasiums • public gathering spaces (e.g. al fresco dining) Although the requirements for privacy, and air purification were clearly being met with the instant impact of green screening, the positive feedback from our clients 18 www.landud.co.uk has gone way beyond their practical benefit. We are thrilled to hear that instant living screens created a sense of peace and wellbeing for clients, children, residents, customers and personal spaces. The biophilic connection with nature was clearly at work. More recently we have been helping inner city community groups to obtain grant funding to enhance their sense of wellbeing by connecting with nature, through the creation of green spaces in their concrete environments. Working in collaboration with the enlightened eco-landscaping company, Stone Green Landscapes Ltd, we aim to create panoramic views of nature for inner city resident groups using instant living screens, which will make an important contribution to the mental, emotional and physical well-being of the whole community. *https://www.growwilduk.com/ blog/5-simple-steps-practising- shinrin-yoku-forest-bathing For more information about our Instant Green Screens and projects visit www.eastofedenplants.co.uk or call 01752 822782 www.sg-landscapes.co.uk or call 07789 718 101 email [email protected] email [email protected] PHOTOS - All copyright of Peter Belton East of Eden Plants and Designs Follow us @ludmagazine
