INTO THE WILD

by Katherine Stewart

‘Into the Wild’ is a proposal for a Wilderness Garden and Restaurant in St Saviour’s Church, Poplar. The proposal works on several levels; literally in that it suggests a hybrid programme of a multi-generational community wilderness garden/play area in the day and a farm-to-fork restaurant/café in the evenings; and metaphorically in the sense of the figure of the gardener as a carer both of the local community and globally in rewilding the planet – micro and macro.
