Living Colour Wheel


LIVING COLOUR WHEEL

A circle of aerial “colour gardens” formed of six simultaneously flowering trees (in the three primary and three secondary colours) planted in the Adelaide Parklands. At the centre, three play walls each expressing a primary colour gesture, with swards of indigenous grasses beneath of russet, lime gold and blue grey (20m W x 6m H at maturity).

A few years later this is how The Living Colour Wheel grasses and surrounding circle of trees had grown. It had weathered continual fun climbing by children and had minimal maintenance.
