Good to join @atwjackson & @TomOleary72 & colleagues @nationaltrust @Buzz_dont_tweet @HistEnvForum @f_ben87 to hear about #Superbloom at @HRP_palaces @TowerOfLondon - a new park for London & an appropriate, ecologically friendly & beautiful moat for our times. More pics 👇 ImageImageImageImage
Loving the colour mixes & the sculptures. There’s also a slide & soundscape. @TowerOfLondon ImageImageImageImage
One for #Frockingfabulous - the Queen’s garden for the #PlatinumJubilee was designed based on the Queen’s coronation dress. #Superbloom ImageImageImage
Various seed mixes add patches of different colour & height. #Superbloom ImageImageImageImage
Particularly loved the areas where small mounds added wave-like height & relief. #Superbloom ImageImageImageImage
A final visit also with the wonderful @f_ben87 who leaves @HistEnvForum this week - certainly a metaphor for the legacy she leaves with the team of a transformed new model forum. We will miss you Fran. #Superbloom @TowerOfLondon ImageImageImage

We are hearing from @HughFW introducing the session on water. Only 14% of our rivers are in a decent state & none pass all the tests. Our political system supports short term thinking & growth at all costs. We’ve had lots of inquiries. Need substantive change to the system. Image

Good morning from an exciting day ahead celebrating architectural heritage from 1975 to 2025 & ahead to 2075. Hosted by @HTF_ @Historic_Houses @SAVEtoReuse with @ArchHFund Europa Nostra UK @KingsFdn & @Heritage_NGOs - our morning kicks off with Dan Cruickshank. 🧵 Image
Dan says 1975 was an astonishing year for conservation. Council of Europe statement & @SAVEtoReuse report on state of architecture. There were student led riots demonstrating against politics & the established order, big business, big development. General strike. Age of protest. Image
People mobilised around things they believed was right. This included buildings & places. Public support crucial in unlocking change. Battle to save Covent Garden. Both market & the working communities. Protests on streets. Success. Buildings are able to adapt. Look at it now. Image

Part of the challenge - acquisition budgets to save items for the nation. Inventive thinking including recent sharing of a Reynolds will be needed in the future. bbc.com/news/entertain…
