The International Garden Festival announces the designers for its 16th edition
International Garden Festival / Reford Gardens
POPPLE by Meaghan Hunter, landscape architect & Suzy Melo, landscape architect, Winnipeg (Manitoba) Canada. In a wooded area, a large curtain of colorful metal disks dance in the wind to create a melody and a visual buzz, evoking the leaves of trembling aspen. This sensory experience seeks to highlight the simple beauty of the forest. Visitors will be encouraged to interact with the curtains and contribute to the movement of "leaves" that will move in the space. There is a dynamic in nature that remains invisible and this installation will invite people to explore and see what has always been there. Meaghan Hunter is landscape architect intern who also has a degree in environmental design. Her creativity and eclecticism has led her to architecture, urban design and landscape architecture, where ecology, environmental management, engineering and the arts meet. Suzy Melo holds a Masters in landscape architecture and a degree in environmental design. She is interested in the transition between interior and exterior spaces, particularly those heavily defined by built architecture. They are both working for landscape architecture firms in Winnipeg.
