THE BRICK walls of a car park in Stratford have been transformed into a mural celebrating nature.
The artwork at Rother Street Civic Car Park depicting flowers and butterflies chalks up another addition to the town’s growing mural trail.
Created by artist Sam Porter, also known as Mural Minded, and supported by Stratford Town Trust, the design is inspired by the area’s commitment to nurturing local butterfly populations.
This commitment is in action at various nature reserves, including the Stratford Local Nature Reserve – a collaborative project between Stratford Town Trust and Stratford District Council.
Stratford is also home to the UK’s largest butterfly farm.
Ali Glover, organiser of the Paint Stratford mural trail, said: “Sam’s mural is more than just a beautiful artwork, it’s a reflection of Stratford’s commitment to both artistic expression and environmental responsibility.
“It perfectly encapsulates how art can highlight and celebrate the incredible conservation efforts happening right here in our community, while also reminding us of nature’s positive impact on our lives.”
