BOUGHTON PLAYS A PART IN HISTORY AT THE ICONIC BATTERSEA POWER STATION REDEVELOPMENT
Situated in the heart of London sits the iconic 39-acre , Grade II * listed Battersea Power Station , which has been subject to an incredible £ 9billion redevelopment project – one of the biggest schemes of this type anywhere in Europe . One brand that is proud to have played a part within this ground-breaking project is Boughton , suppliers of stunning green roof substrates for the Power Station ’ s ‘ Garden of the Elements ’ project .
Positioned between the four chimney ’ s that have become synonymous with the Battersea development are three unique gardens that together make up the ‘ Garden of Elements ’, designed by Andy Sturgeon and brought to life by six-times BALI Grand awardwinners , Willerby Landscapes . Each garden is inspired by fire , water or air , harking back to the Power Station ’ s previous life . It is within these gardens , including the notable main podium garden ‘ Boiler House Square ’ that saw Boughton ’ s IN1 Intensive and Lightweight Green Roof Substrates , and Rootzone come into their own .
These garden spaces , full of cloudlike planting schemes are set within raised beds and tall grasses with vegetation designed to offer year-round interest with a mix of evergreens , Mediterranean and more exotic species .
