What could J K Rowling’s “Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows” and Stephen Spielberg’s adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s children’s fiction novel “War Horse” possibly have in common? They are both being made into epic movies I hear you say. Very good! But there’s something else as well. Can you guess? No idea? Really no idea? Then I’ll tell you.
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows was partly filmed at Leavesden Studios . Filmscapes Landscape Gardeners who specialise in creating breathtaking sets for film, TV and advertising, came to us for some serious quantities of Wildflower Turf for one of the film sets. We’re very proud AGAIN as this was not the first time that our turf had been used for the Harry Potter films.
Over the last 4 years they have used our high quality lawn turf CT Pro1 for the Quidditch Pitch and Malfoy Manor as well as Wildflower Turf CT Flora, for Hagrids Hill.
What about War Horse. Filmscapes again were creating the film sets for this spectacular movie, this time being filmed in part at Stratfield Saye where the cavalry scenes were being enacted. Our Wildflower Turf was yet again used for these scenes.
So! When these epic movies are finally released, have a look and see if you can spot the plush grass or the wildflowers in some of the scenes. We’re feeling pretty chuffed all round really. Well wouldn’t you be?!
