Multi-award-winning garden design studio.
The Sustainable seafood Garden
Location: Bloom Flower Show in Dublin
The Sustainable Seafood Garden was created for bord iascaigh mhara at the Bloom Flower Show in Dublin. The garden celebrates Ireland’s coastal landscape and seafood heritage, combining contemporary planting with natural materials to create a space that reflects the relationship between land, sea and sustainability.The Sustainable seafood garden”, told the story of the journey from tide to table of the fish and seafood that surround and inhabit this island and the multitude of people and industries that support it. This journey starts in the water and ends on a plate and it is the fabulous bounty it produces that the garden hopes to celebrate. The garden was designed to illustrate how the fishing industry has been modernised and developed by Bord Iascaigh Mhara in an ecological and sustainable way into the industry it is today. The garden encouraged an appreciation of the incredible resources, industries and produce that this island has to offer and reminds us that it is in all of our interest to protect it.
The garden was awarded a Gold Medal and the coveted Best in Show at the Bloom Flower Show, recognising both the strength of the design and its execution. The build was carried out by Silverstream Landscapes, who received the inaugural Best Contractor award for the quality and craftsmanship of the construction.
