Parkland Trees was a two-part creative project set up for the mental health units at Hellesdon Hospital, Norwich.
The first part enabled participants to gain photographic skills whilst walking in a semi-natural setting, encouraging observations and curiosity about trees.
Details gathered on the walks were printed to both line the walls of the living space and to create individual journals and a mood board.
A mural created from the participants’ mood board echoes the landscape character surrounding the hospital with species rich meadows and ancient hedgerow, together with a leaf bare young tree in the foreground. Every service user and staff passing through the unit is invited to add their leaf, creating an ever evolving mural, meaningful to the moment and season.
The second part of the project involved the Broadland District community creating artwork for the hospital and an outdoor exhibition alongside the work of professional artists.
