A physical Growing Schools Garden was originally launched at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. The garden now has a permanent home at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
This project is an online version of the garden offering resources and inspiration to people across the teaching sphere. Whilst wandering through this virtual garden its easy to discover case studies from participating schools, fact sheets on how to develop areas in schools, video testimonies and a rich resource library including information on support organisations and places to visit.
My role: Print design and asset creation. I created a map for the physical Growing Schools Garden which was subsequently used as a styleguide for the online presence. I created some of the animated assets for the online version and designed and compiled the case studies and fact sheets.

As training is tailored to your needs, you do as little or as much training as required – mostly to help reduce key risk areas in on-road riding, such as bend negotiation, overtaking, filtering, positioning and junctions.
This online project showcased four bikers (through video) and inspired bikers to sign up for the ERS.
