Cambridge Project




This project has been in development for a number of years and delayed by planners for a variety of reasons. Now we are working through the first phase and will be developing ideas for the second. An underlying concept in the park layout has been the Fibonacci sequence. The eventual layout will be very different to the concept plans shown but will I hope reflect the underlying geometry found in the Fibonacci series.

Jardineros Guerrilleros!

We have been planting in Harlesden in the grounds of churches, pocket parks, clubs, front and back gardens a refined mixture of Jury, soulangeana & other magnolia hybrids!







One lady entering the local church looked slightly askance but that was been the only reaction.Hopefully when they flower officialdom will be enjoying them to much to worry about the why or the how. I decided to start planting them because each spring in the posher parts of London there is a blaze of colour whether it is from wisterias, magnolias or cherries etc. Harlesden by comparison is a bit drab... as time goes on and we keep planting this will change. I am not sure how many are needed for people to notice but we will see.
