By popular request, a behind-the-scenes peak at decorating the Christmas trees! 🎄
This year our team had the lovely project of decorating three of Lewisham Council’s Christmas trees — in Catford, Lewisham Town Centre and Deptford — each with its own theme inspired by the local area.
The Deptford tree had a maritime theme to reflect the area’s rich maritime history, the Catford tree was our take on a classic, traditional Christmas, and the Lewisham tree featured fruit-inspired elements to connect with Lewisham Market, which has been part of the area for generations.
Our gardener Alec hand-painted the fence panels, we organised and installed the decorations, and for the Deptford tree we worked with local artist to create a wrap-around artwork at the base of the tree featuring local landmarks.
For the Catford and Lewisham trees, our coordinator designed the boards, which we printed locally at our co-working studio, next to Lewisham station.
created the custom tree toppers — the Catford Cat for the Catford tree, the Clock Tower for the Lewisham tree, and the Anchor for the Deptford tree — which really gave each tree its unique character.
A big thank you to Milestone, whose team helped us install the toppers and taller decorations safely using their cherry picker.
Thank you to for trusting us with this project, and to everyone who stopped to look, take photos, and send kind messages — it really meant a lot.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a strong start to the New Year 🎄✨
