The Water Gardens

Why is the interpretation and signage so important to the restored Gardens?

Our communications and landscape team created an interpretation strategy for the park. A richly illustrated 4-meter panel tells explains the evolution of Hemel Hempstead, the history of the gardens, their founder Geoffrey Jellicoe, and his relevance to mid-century town planning. This central feature sign is supported by further signs at key junctions across the gardens, helping people to navigate through the gardens and wider town.

Inclusivity was a key consideration with Dacorum Borough Council requesting interpretation to be featured in Braille alongside raised mapping to aid navigation for the visually impaired. We worked with a specialist facilitator to achieve this on robust signs made from vitreous enamel with embossed powder coated aluminium.
