The Brief
To Enhance the huge shopping centre building with plants.
The Concept
To minimize the variety of plants and to introduce the biggest plants available to subdue the building.
The Challenge
Was to exercise restraint and to find and source individual plants so as to lend credence to the minimalistic attitude of the landscaping.
The Implementation
The Landscape Contractor, Chris Wynne and the irrigation contractor JKS Irrigation worked hand in hand in what I deem to be the most successful landscaping project by Shoprite, ably supported by Mr Stuart Deane.
