Mepc Milton Park

Large custom planters in granite were commissioned by MEPC for the landmark Milton Park development in Oxfordshire.

The brief required the planters to be suitable for tree planting, and the 1300mm wide planters are robustly constructed from 25mm thick granite, reinforced internally. The planting is simple, but striking, using Betula utilis Jacquemontii (Himalayan White Birch), whose shallow and spreading root structure is particularly suited to the low and wide profile of the granite tree planters.
