Description

Closing our mini-series on Waterden Green: Power, Place and Participation, I’m joined by Fenella Griffin, landscape architect, educator, and founding partner at Untitled Practice. This episode dives into what it takes to design spaces that genuinely reflect the lives of teenage girls, not just in principle, but in practice. Fenella speaks with clarity and care about landscape as more than terrain, but as a vehicle for justice, joy, and belonging. Our conversation moves between the personal and the political, uncovering how working with young women as co-creators shaped the design of Waterden Green in powerful ways. It’s a meaningful one for me, too, having seen first-hand how landscape architecture is often undervalued in development, this was a chance to spotlight its transformative potential when led with intention, collaboration, and deep respect for place.
