The Light House Project
A mobile garden, a luminous house, a beacon and marker of time passing. The Lighthouse Project produced glowing succulent gardens for the Federation Square Atrium planter boxes. This project has been developed in collaboration with Fitzroy Primary School and is supported by The Fitzroy Nursery. Photography by Raphael Kilpatrick.

FITZROY PRIMARY SCHOOL DRAWINGS
A group of year 4/5 students from Fitzroy Primary School were asked to respond to the themes 'Fire and Light' during a dedicated workshop. The drawings that they produced were then scanned, printed on vinyl and adhered to custom made acrylic boxes. -
Succulents
Succulents have been propagated and over a series of months in order to be planted in the Lighthouses. -
PLANTING DAY
The Lighthouses were built and then taken back to Fitzroy Primary School for a planting workshop. Dean from The Fitzroy Nursery came along and provided information for about how to plant and nurture the succulents. 5 mini landscapes were created by different groups and then put into the acrylic boxes.
