The larger of the two living walls is at the entrance to the village, encased in a huge black frame which provides a stunning contrast to the bright pops of pink from the Dicentra Spectabilis (Asian bleeding-heart) and Phlox subulate (creeping phlox), overall giving a polished, contemporary finish.
The second smaller wall is in the village itself and offers shoppers a brief respite in the busy centre.
