Concept
A New Urban Home For Butterflies
Where have all the butterflies gone?
Our proposal is a place for nature.
We need to be brave and act without hesitation to rewild our city!
Our proposal for St. Paul’s hanging garden wants to encourage London’s wildlife and connect people to nature.
An environmental project that promotes a new elevated green space for the grow of butterflies.
The proposed garden is a combination of native plants and quick-growing annual flower to bring to the
centre of the City a sense of autochthonous nature while improving the air quality and biodiversity.
The plants will help retain moisture in the air and reduce the urban heat island effect creating a space to
rest or to cross surrounded by butterflies and other wildlife, that can help people to relax and get more
in contact with the natural world.
The garden is composed of three zones:
The flower-beds: red, yellow, orange, pink and purple because Butterflies like bright colours!
The climbing plants: low-maintenance, self-cleaning, partially epiphytic, vertical growing plants connects
the street-level garden with the butterfly farm.
The hanging pots: those low-maintenance pots will be hung from the existing steel cables and will be a
private space for the butterfly’s life to thrive. The shape and material of the pots have been thought to
minimise the need for water and to emphasize the beauty of the dirt.
