| Keywords: art project artproject calderstones park calderstonespark hedge font hedgefont project 365 project365 text garden textgarden topiary garden outdoor plant tree park Today started well enough in the blood testing room at the Royal. Just after I sat down someone came in and said "if anyone is on warfarin and doesn't mind donating an extra few mls of blood for a research study we can see you now". That saved me half an hour. Result! The park of choice today was divided, as we did two adjacent parks. The first was Allerton Towers, a small(ish) but charming 35 acre park, sporting a partly derelict orangery just for interest. The second was the rather more well known Calderstones Park - a 94 acre park which is always very well kept as it seems to be the south Liverpool base of the Park Rangers. One of its surprising delights was a genuinely fabulous Japanese garden which is an oasis of serenity. More peculiar is this so called 'text garden', which is a formal topiary garden and art project. The hedges form letters which have to be read individually and then pieced together to form words. An interesting idea, but I think on the whole it works rather better when viewed from above.
