AIG Women's British Open - Woburn

In the summer of 2019, IMG asked us to make some artificial topiary letters for the Womens’s British Open in Woburn. IMG is a global leader in sports, events, media and fashion  and manages some of the world’s greatest sports figures and fashion icons.

We had previously made some letters for the client three years prior, and they wished to commission three new letters so that they could spell out #AIGWBO. This was to highlight the new title sponsor: in 2019 the Women’s British Open was headlined by AIG for the first time.

We matched the font from the previous order, to make sure that the letters would look like a full set, using the same dimensions and material.

These letters were made from artificial grass, which matched the theme of the project – golf

The letters were placed onto a large platform. We had attached bolting points onto each piece, so they used these to fix each letter securely to the platform, before adding a layer of green felt.

The platform was built in a prominent place, so that it could be a big feature to the event and be used as a photo opportunity.

If your upcoming event could do with some topiary sculptures, please get in touch!

Giant three metre high topiary ring

Hatton Garden is famously known as London’s jewellery quarter, so when they asked Agrumi Topiary Art to make a giant diamond ring it made a lot of sense!

We were asked for the topiary to be free standing on a large scale so that people could stand in it for photos. So we created the design for a 3 metre high Diamond Ring, high enough to stand under, which would be bolted into the ground.

Artificial boxwood was the topiary medium of choice for this project, as it is a realistic alternative to living plant that would last through the installation with zero maintenance.

This project was brought about by the Hatton Garden BID (Business Improvement District), which funds improvements to the local area, to enhance commercial areas and celebrate the area’s uniqueness. A major benefit of BIDs is that they encourage footfall into the highstreet.

They were interested in having a planter filled with flowering plants at the top of the ‘diamond’ so we left this hollow. We created an artificial floral display (pink orchids, blue delphinium and various white flowers) to represent a pot full of flowers. They loved this so much that we left these built in for the duration of the ring’s installation!

A big sign was placed on the ground saying “SMILE Take a photo in the ring and share with us @HattonGDN to win great prizes this summer… #HattonSummer”.

"Hatton Garden is steeped in history relating to jewellery and diamonds. We are very proud of our identity and want to celebrate who we are. This is why Hatton Garden BID commissioned Agrumi Limited to design a bespoke large topiary engagement ring to be placed on the high street. We could not be happier with the result and it provided a fantastic way for people to get involved and share their stories / moments in our area."

Limerick in Ireland is an historic town the beauty of which has recently been enhanced with Agrumi topiary. Agrumi’s handmade designs – in living or artificial plants – are perfect for business advertising in public spaces. 

When Limerick Self Storage chose to advertise on a roundabout they needed an eye-catching design. The project had to publicize the company’s services to motorists quickly, but effectively as they negotiated their way around the heart of the city close to the River Shannon and the station.

Agrumi worked closely with Limerick Self Storage to develop a design that focuses on the main tools of their trade – packing cases and other forms of storage. The resulting layout is made in artificial boxwood to be robust and long lasting. 

The cubes vary is size from 35cm to 90 cm and the doorway to the installation is 250cm tall. Metal posts have been dug 100cm into the ground to ensure that the structures stay in place and withstand the strong winds that blow along the river.

The design imaginatively and playfully showcases all that Limerick Self Storage is about alongside discrete, low natural planting that deliberately scales up the topiary elements. 

The Managing Director’s feedback says it all…

“Thank you to everyone involved in this project, it has been a great success and we are already starting to receive very positive feedback.”

We first heard about the Enham Trust through a topiary commission (see photo). As we got to understand more about them and the wonderful work they do we realised there was no way we could charge them for the project – we simply had to make it a donation!

Bespoke Topiary Art Letters donated to Enham Trust

This case study is a great opportunity to bring a fantastic charity to the attention of our other clients and potential customers so they can think about donating too.

Over almost 100 years the Trust has facilitated opportunities for hundreds of thousands of disabled, elderly and vulnerable people to live the lives they choose, as independently as possible.

At present the Trust is supporting over 6500 individuals – children and adults - across three core services:

  • Care – including care at home
  • Housing – including sheltered accommodation and care homes
  • Employment – including jobs and skills training

The range of assistance offered is phenomenal from personal care (including help with personal hygiene such as bathing and showering, medications and food and drink preparation) to social support (such as shopping trips, domestic care, social activities, welfare checks and financial management and administration).

Based in Hampshire but with a much wider reach the Trust’s full care model enables them to provide a ‘wrap around service’ that is personalised and tailored to individuals.

Without the Trust’s know-how and support the lives of many people would be much the poorer physically and emotionally.

This Christmas and beyond if you’re looking for a deserving charity to support you should look no further that the Enham Trust.
