"Art Shell commissioned Bottega to come up with some robust creative structures that would provide respite and edible planting in the city centre (and pass public health and safety regulations) which was quite a difficult feat. John and his team did a great job of designing and installing several structures in consultation with ourselves and Cardiff Council, that included a large semi circular salad display, planters with hand carved sculptures, integrated seating and a water garden. These works were situated in an urban setting in Cardiff city centre on a tarmaced road, above the Docks Feeder canal on Churchill way. The work really softened and changed the purpose of the space, transforming the city centre into a place of rest, with art, free, fresh, growing food, not just a place shopping. The Bottega team have fantastic energy, they have the skills to get things done and have got the beautiful balance of being both artists and craftspeople, holding sustainability and strong social values at their core."
