Create inspiring floating gardens around marinas and docks
Marinas and docks are often hard-edged parts of the urban waterscape. Because of the presence of boats, walkways and quaysides, it can be difficult for nature and wildlife to take hold. The result may be a relatively lifeless and undervalued area that misses out on its potential as a thriving hub of city life. Docks can become inspiring, interactive places where people are drawn towards the water through various activities, from private boat use to kayaking to sightseeing tours. With the right intervention, docks and marinas can be brought to life, without compromising the boat access to the water.
