Shape Newham

Maryland, 2022

In collaboration with children from Maryland Primary School, residents from the neighbouring Henniker Point tower, the London Borough of Newham, and Maryland Community Group – an installation of street planters was commissioned as part of a wider series of public realm interventions.

‘PlayGrown’ provides a splash of much needed colour and joy in a pocket of disused public realm beside a main road below Henniker Point. The plants were installed and will be maintained by Maryland Community Group along with children from Maryland Primary School as part of an educational programme.
