ABOUT THE PROJECT

Gardens for Good is a garden design located in Oxford. They specialise in developing spaces where groups of people can come together and enjoy the benefits of ecologically sensitive outdoor spaces, including sensory gardens, school gardens, memorial gardens and community gardens. 

We were commissioned to help Gardens for Good in their relocation from Northamptonshire, and in promoting their forthcoming 'The Power to Make a Difference' exhibition garden. This Silver Medal award-winning garden was exhibited at the nationally acclaimed RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show in July 2017. We supported this project by developing a cleverly folded broadsheet, with step-by-step unfolding 'reveals' showing how you can develop your own environmentally friendly garden space. This beautiful piece of literature was printed on uncoated, recycled paper and was accompanied by a separate four-page planting list for distribution at the RHS Show. 

We have also produced a range of promotional literature for Gardens for Good, including a neatly folded brochure with a carefully registered internal flap that allows the reader to 'open' the garden to read the information about its creation inside. Printed on recycled paper using a state-of-the-art UV ink press, and resplendent with a spot-UV varnish finish to the outer, this really is a piece of print to be proud of.

WHAT OUR CLIENT SAID

“Working with Dave has been a fantastic experience. We first decided to meet with him having overhead him talk (enthusiastically!) about design principles and delivery techniques, he seemed to know his stuff and I can now confidently say, having worked with him on several projects, he is an expert in his field.

His passion for design and attention to detail is incredible. He has an endless stream of ideas to create unique and innovative material, which in itself is a valuable asset when working with him. Just as importantly though, he has the ability to foresee and solve potential challenges that may arise during the design and production of complex print projects, making the whole process smooth and efficient.

Dave has produced exceptionally high quality design material for us that we are proud to share with our clients and prospects. Dave's services have always represented excellent value for our investment and he has produced finished products to some tight (and very important) deadlines.

The services provided by Thornhill & Co. have been an asset to our business. Needless to say, we would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality graphic design services."
