Interactive interpretation for the rain garden at the London Wetland Centre

A total revamp of a tired space, showing visitors what rain gardens do and why we need more of them in our towns and cities.

Featuring:

A large-scale participatory infographic display. Visitors share their opinions about rain by hanging coloured raindrops to reflect their answers.

Talking water butt voiced brilliantly by The Urban Birder - David Lindo - explaining the benefits of catching and saving water.

A submerged telephone box highlighting potential future scenarios of client change to urban settings.

Beautiful murals featuring key plants found in rain gardens and typography reading Slow it Down, Soak it Up

Thought-provoking explainer panels, showing how rain gardens work and why they matter.
