Sun Apple Sculpture Installed and Landscaping Completed

Although it hasn't been officially unveiled yet, the Sun Apple is finished, painted and installed in Firth Park. The guys from Grassroot Garden have been working hard for a couple of weeks to get the landscaping done around it. We got some help from local kids to plant the new Lavender bed that is replacing the old, neglected Rose bushes that were there before. Thanks guys! We'll be keeping it under wraps until Friday afternoon...

Sun Apple work in progress

Here is a sneak peek at the progress of the Sun Apple sculpture itself which is being painstakingly welded up for us by Owen Cunningham at his workshop in Derbyshire.

Watch this space for confirmation of the install date, which should be coming up in October.

Well, it's been a busy few weeks since the projects got started! We had a brilliant time making Fantasy Fruits at the Firth Park Christmas Event on December 10th. You can see recent work done for specific projects listed below...

Thanks to Brushes Busy Kids in Firth Park and Brendan Ingle's Gym in Wincobank for helping us develop some of our proposals. Please get in touch if you'd like to be involved with any of the projects in 2010. More after Christmas...Happy Holidays!

Fantasy Fruits

The Sun Apple Project

Description: This mini urban playful place would be based around a giant, steel fruit-like sculpture. This intervention would be one of a series designed to enhance pedestrian routes by creating new and revitalised places using hard and soft landscaping. Seating could also form part of the landscape design.

Location: Corner of Sicey Avenue and Fairthorn Road.
