Richmond Centre had a dream of a spring of epic proportions this year.
Along with our design friends at Three Dimensional Services, we helped achieve their vision by creating a 15 foot tall traditional wishing tree to which mall patrons could attach their wishes folded in the shape of flowers. Richmond Centre desired an interactive display that would celebrate spring and surround their guests with brightly coloured flower beds, a bamboo forest, and a wooden bridge.
The featured Flowering Wishing Tree also serves another special purpose. For every wish that gets attached to the Flowering Wish Tree, Richmond Centre will donate $1 to the Children’s Wish Foundation—a very worthy cause that grants a favourite wish for children afflicted with a high risk, life-threatening illness.
Richmond Centre’s Blossom display is up until Saturday, April 23rd, so be sure to bring your wish to Richmond Centre and attach it to the Flowering Wishing Tree to make your wish come true and that of a special child in need. Visit their Customer Care Centre in the mall or visit their facebook page for more details and instructions for making an origami tulip.

YVR – International Departures: Spirit of the Sea
Post by admin on December 3rd, 2010 · No Comments
In coordination with Sharp and Diamond Landscape Architects and Panther Management, Greenscape designed and built 19 custom Vine Maple trees that were 18’ tall with a basegarden treatment of westcoast ferns in large designer concrete planters for the International Departures wing. As well, we installed 30 salal planters to line the upper walkway that overlooked the stunning replica streambed environment. Iconic elements like a curving stream, detailed rock work, lush foliage, an urban fountain, a large aquarium and sculptures by the carver Dempsey Bob all work together to define the space and utilize the calming effects of nature to create a soothing environment for International travelers. http://www.yvr.ca/en/Default.aspx

Storyeum
Post by admin on December 3rd, 2010 · No Comments
Bigger than six NHL ice rinks and one of the biggest tourist attractions built since EXPO 86, Storyeum, which is located in Gastown, was a massive undertaking for Greenscape. On the Ancient Trails set, we used an impressive mix of natural tree trunks and bark, combined with artificial foliage to create the feel of an old growth West Coast rainforest. The vision was to create an experiential environment that immersed audiences into a forest feel as they passed through 8 different sets highlighting an interactive theatrical recreation of British Columbia’s history.
