The chair build
What type of turf did you use and why?
Lilydale Instant Lawns sponsored the turf for our project.
The turf used is Tiff Tuf.
Stays green, is hardy, handles all weather conditions, and is thick, and soft to the touch.
How was the chair made?
Solid wooden frame constructed, covered in a recycled carpet underlay. The turf was cut into pieces and screwed into place. Regular watering, trimming, and liquid fertiliser.
The Story
What is the garden about?
The outside world can be busy, loud, and overwhelming.
This garden follows structure and patterns, making us feel safe and back in control.
Why did you choose these plants?
We wanted color, liked the feel of touch, different shapes, how they move, smells
What does the chair represent?
It is a safe place to sit down, relax, and help stay calm.
It can help to clear our minds.
