The Secret Gardens

From the start I knew I wanted to have a unique take on this ‘Arrivals task’ I knew I wanted to involve Manchester but not in an obvious way.

When first arriving in Manchester I was excited by the chance of living in a big city. But being from Bournemouth I knew I would miss things like the beach and forests that surround me. In my second year of being in Manchester I tried to familiarise myself beyond the city centre to find gardens and parks which I loved! This was unexpected to me as living in the centre for my foundation year I rarely escaped the centre of Manchester. Now living opposite a park, this gave me the inspiration to choose my project ‘the secret gardens’ of Manchester.
