Lilidorei, The Alnwick Garden

Client: The Alnwick Garden Trust

Contract Value: £950,000

The World’s Largest Playground is the vision of imaginative and immersive play, created by the Duchess of Northumberland. A decisive move away from standardised play equipment, Lilidorei is a fantasy village – ruled by Lord Elfin – a place where there are lots of questions with no answers.

The landscape package included the following:

  • Nursery visit to Ebben, The Netherlands to select and tag tree stock.
  • Ground preparation for all tree, shrub and turf areas.
  • Planting and underground guying of tree stock with Green Blue Urban Arborguy system.
  • Installation of tree pit irrigation/aeration system.
