Wild & woolly, the White Bay Power Station becomes overgrown by the seed heads of grasses - anything tidier would look out of place next to its abandoned backdrop. These seed heads invite other living organisms to develop a balanced ecosystem.

The subject meadow encompasses a subtle hint of history amd a vision for the near future. A new life conceived through colour diversity & an acknowledgement of native growth, whilst being allowed to perpetuate throughout the site & inspire the same for its inhabitants

Meadow-morphosis speaks for itself. It is concerned with identities: of people & communities, of places & landscapes, of the past, present & future. But how does the transformation of an industrial past to a sustainable future we yearn for achieve harmony? Maybe just as any imagination, drama or tale imprints its significance in our hearts, we simply set the scene to tell a story.

A randomised perennial mix of wildflowers & grasses create waves of colours and repetition that flow throughout the garden & help accentuate the historical context of the site. The visual appeal of the white is predominantly across the plant species, translating an expression of innocence & new life.

The advantage of intermingling plants is that a random close juxtaposition of species is created to allow for accent features. This helps the visual experience to be ever changing.

A sustainable drainage scheme is implied, the collection of drainage water that irrigates the site is filtered back into the water table with only the excess taken off site. Swales create detention basins, where water is help temporarily before it is slowly released back into the natural drainage system.
