In response to public consultations requesting more greenery on Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow Life's Sauchiehall Street Culture & Heritage District programme commissioned us to create a temporary planter.

The planter walls are created using gabions - filled by building handmade drystone walls using recycled demolition and construction 'waste' materials from buildings on the street and the recent street groundworks. Using these materials saves waste from landfill, incurs no costs other than transportation, but most importantly, links the new structure to the heritage and materiality of the street itself.   

Community members from FROGGS (Friends of Garnethill Green Spaces) helped us to plant up the beds with perennial planters that will - hopefully - bring some bees to the street!
