Braintree Shopping Village
The larger of the two living walls is at the entrance to the village, encased in a huge black frame which provides a stunning contrast to the bright pops of pink.
Client Background
A stylish outdoor shopping centre in Essex, Braintree Village wanted to improve the shopping experience of their visitors, involving two natural living walls.

Contemporary design
The larger of the two living walls is at the entrance to the village, encased in a huge black frame which provides a stunning contrast to the bright pops of pink from the Dicentra Spectabilis (Asian bleeding-heart) and Phlox subulate (creeping phlox), overall giving a polished, contemporary finish.
Small touch
The second smaller wall is in the village itself and offers shoppers a brief respite in the busy centre.
