LE Graphics have been proud partners of National Trust for over twenty five years and we feel honoured and privileged to be able to continue playing our part in enhancing the visitor experience at these amazing properties.
And, of course, there's nowhere nice than a National Trust property to call you office for a day (or in this case a couple of days)
As part of their constant efforts to improve customer experience and maintain the upkeep of their properties, National Trust recently tasked us with replacing the core signage at Rowallane Garden, in particular the directional signage used to aid visitors in exploring the many paths and tracks around the extensive gardens.
The new hand made oak signage is built to last and will guide visitors around Rowallane for many long years to come. The oak has been left untreated and as time goes by the natural oxidisation process will give this superb timber a beautiful silver-grey colour further blending these quality signs with their natural environment.
The video above gives you a fleeting, behind-the-scenes glance at the process of making this signage and this timelapse video shows a (very much speeded up) glimpse of the installation process.
Set on the edge of the beautiful village of Saintifield, Rowallane Garden is a treasure trove of magical gardens and woodlands. Filled with unusual plants, colours, sculptures and magical features it is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful gardens in Northern Ireland.
Carved from the County Down landscape, the garden has grown from the 19th century beginnings of the Reverend John Moore and his nephew Hugh Armytage Moore. Their vision helped create a place where you can leave the outside world behind and immerse yourself in nature’s beauty.
The gardens are a mix of formal and informal spaces with many unusual vistas and unique plants from across the world. The trees, plants and shrubs range in ages, size and colour and create a spectacle throughout the year.
