The garden depicts a mini walk as if through Manchester at night, celebrating Cancer Research UK’s sponsored night time city walk, Shine Manchester. Conifers, angular brickwork and glass walls represent contemporary city buildings, with contrasts of darkness and light featuring throughout.
Dark-leaved planting predominates, interwoven with the charity’s colours of blue and pink, while light and scent are introduced by a bright swathe of white bedding plants beside the winding pathway. Visitors wishing to support the charity further will be invited to participate in their own short sponsored walk through the garden.
