Hello!

This is the first blog post of MESS Landscape!

As a short introduction, MESS stands for:

Material

Ecological

Social

Sustainability

I hope to use this blog to record inspiration and research I find whilst I investigate sustainable practices in landscape design. 

To illustrate the vision, this photo is from Darnick’s community garden - a stunning corner in a wee village in the Scottish Borders. This space brings together locals as a space to gather and socialise as they work together, nuturing the garden, which is packed with plants that are adored by insects. The drystone wall is also a lovely example of a sustainable and circular building practice.
