FRLA developed a Valentine’s Day event for Stowe Landscape Garden, where a combination of audio recordings and projected film playing at various locations along a walk through the gardens told fragments of stories about love and lust. These stories related both to the events theme and the theme of the gardens as intended when they were first designed. Special illuminated umbrellas encourage visiting couples to walk close together adding to the visual spectacle while at the same time solving the problem of having visitors navigating an unlit garden at night.
