Stop and Smell the Flowers

Built

Stop and Smell the Flowers is a public mural curated by UP Projects and commissioned by Barnet Council that tackles the climate emergency through the lens of access to clean air.

Stop and Smell the Flowers by Holly Graham is a public mural curated by UP Projects and commissioned by Barnet Council. It tackles the climate emergency through the lens of access to clean air and green space and was developed through a participatory process involving 75 local young people. The phrase “Stop and Smell the Flowers” was used by a local young person during one of the engagement workshops and was later integrated into the design of the final mural.

This project is featured alongside our Public London: Activating the City insight study. The publication, exhibition and online project directory explore what constitutes a successful and democratic public realm today, the role of co‑creation and partnerships, and how we can ensure that places are fit‑for‑purpose in the long term.
