What a splendid superb programme on Sheffield! The knautia, galium,
centaurea and reseda ... the wild flower meadow and the tall grasses,
the sedges, rushes, and cattails on the roof, I thought I was dreaming!
We've got a routemaster which I bought a couple of years ago to
facilitate our workshops, and when we worked in Sheffield, we parked it
for consultation by the winter garden. What an amazing coincidence!
It's currently in Scotland waiting to tour a few towns in early
December, but it gave me some ideas - I think I'll prepare a couple of
hanging baskets for it - I could even make some planters and boxes for
the stairs ... I'm inspired )

Living abroad as I do, I have missed out on all the fantastic new buildings
that have gone up over the last 30 years......the Midlands and the North
seem to have been putting up some amazing hyper modern architecture.

The Winter garden looked so wonderful and there are probably lots more
things I don't know about.

I am going to compile a list of places to visit next time we are in the UK.
The Bull Ring is one I want to see. Any more ideas please :~))

HOOO lots!! I'll email you ;o)

Groundwork seems to be setting up some fantastic parks and garden
project. In Sheffield they have initiated the green roof project with
the council and university. We're just about starting a project with
them in Manc and I'm so excited. I think the tide is turning and
fantastic environmental projects are going to sprung everywhere in the
UK. I think I'm at the right place at the right time )
