Ecobuild and The Perfumed Garden team up to create the Pink Tap Water Wise Feature

Posted by The Perfumed Garden on March 1, 2011 at 11:30am

Ecobuild, which opens from Tuesday 1st March until Thursday 3rd March, is the future of design, construction and the built environment. It is the biggest sustainable building exhibition in the world.

Following the last years success at the Hampton Court Flower Show, Jill Foxley and her company, The Perfumed Garden, were commissioned to recreate the Magic Pink Tap as the main feature for EcoBuild's Water Wise attraction.

The Water Wise attraction provides visitors with information about the latest products and installation techniques to save water.

Taking ‘hidden’ water into account, each person in the UK uses over 3,400 litres of water each day! Incidentally, the pool for the feature holds 4000 litres, it certainly makes you think when you see it.

 

Situated in the boulevard at B2, centrally between hall entrances N5 and S5,The Magic Pink Tap is now up and running, a day ahead of schedule, and is an ideal place to meet business partners and colleagues. With cafes and bars adjacent, it also provides a spot to rest tired feet.

If you would like to use this eye catching feature at your exhibition, conference or business venue, please contact us at The Perfumed Garden.

    Thanks Claudia, we've just got back from the final check and we have extremely happy clients.

    It would have been good to meet up with you but we're not there until Wednesday.

    Enjoy the show, it seems a much better layout than Earls Court so should be easier on the feet.

    It looks just as good in real life! Exhausted from walking round the biggest show I have ever been to - sorry won't see you tomorrow but the tap is a real people magnet. Well done.

    Hi Simon


    Good to talk to you and have a catch up :)


    Thank you for your offer of building up the 'Pink Tap Water Wise Feature' at Creating Landscapes - I'll discuss this with the team this afternoon when we have our conference call and be back in touch.

    All best

    Hi there Perfumed Garden-I've just come across your design on LJN here at Eco-build and I must say it is very eye catching-you wouldn't miss it would you! Would be good to see it at CreateLandscapes later on in the year.

     

    Regards

    We're looking for a sponsor for the overall exhibit and the planting too if anyone has any suggestions?

Does moss always = full renovation

Hi.Does a mossey lawn always equal a full lawn renovation? Once you kill (or control) moss the customer is left with brown / black dead moss all over their lawn. So then its needs scarifying to rake it up, then usually a preseed fert, seed and top…
