ALLOTMENT PLOT BELONGING TO HENRICK, ITS A PRIZE WINNER

HENRICK HAS A WONDERFUL ALLOTMENT AT MERTON 

The blue squares on my friend's allotment


The plot which Henrick has created is full of delightful surprises. At one end he has a large pond with various kinds of carp, and a chalet where he entertains friends on Boxing Day!
The various buildings he has made are changing over time and on each visit I marvel at something new!
This sketch is of a blue and red square on the trellis near his greenhouse.
Through this square, you can see other squares that are cleverly built to show an impression of recession to a far distance.
Colour is also important on this allotment, everything is painted, usually blue, green and red, and everywhere are great swathes of flowers, climbing up, cascading  down.  A feast for the eye.

  1. How intriguing, Hendrick's plot sounds lovely, with the printed colors, sculpture and flowers. Allotments are usually utilitarian, humble places and he's seen it in a new way. Inspiring!
