New Craigs Therapy Garden Totem Pole
The last couple of Mondays the New Craigs Green Gym has been working on a Totem Pole for the Therapy Garden. We started by doing a little research of totem pole images and wildlife magazines, before plotting out our designs on paper; below is Sammy’s tiger and Peter with his ladybug.
We then got stuck into painting our designs onto the pole itself – the messy part! Everyone got a section and few designs on and it turned out bright and colourful, as intended.
On the 30th January we were ready to install it in the garden. With the perfect spot chosen regular Peter started digging and in no time we were ready to place the totem in. We got the postcrete in and after a long & chilly 10 minutes holding the pole in place our Totem Pole was up!
