Fantastic feature, Tim.
(Delighted to find your site on Blotanical, btw, where I’ve just faved you.)
I, too, just commented on Catharine’s post on Thames Barrier Park, not realizing it was designed by Alain Provost. I love Parc Andre Citroen, and had I known of the design link I might have been sure to make the extra effort to visit The Green Dock. Sigh…… I missed it. But what fun to be reading about it. Your photos remind me of various sections of the Paris Parc which I so often include it in slide talks that it feels as if I was there yesterday, but it was a few years ago actually.

I really should visit the Garden Network more often

It was impressive – the whole imagery of the place works so well in its environment

Been there too a couple of years ago in winter, very cold, I would have loved to have been able to walk through the ‘waves’ of the garden. Very impressive site.

Hi Sue – its one of those places that doesn’t immediately strike most people as a place to visit partially because of its location – if you live so near that’s not such a problem. I’d be interested to hear what you think of it when you get to go. Regards Tim

Good heavens – this is the second post on the Barrier park that I’ve found in 10 minutes of totally random blog browsing. Has it just hit the headlines or something? I have a house in London about half a mile from from the Barrier and never knew the park existed till today. I shall have to visit next time I’m home.
