Three Manchester alleyways transformed into inner-city havens are now vying to be crowned the best
Some of Manchester’s most mistreated inner-city areas are among those to have been shortlisted for this year’s RHS and MEN Ginnel Garden Competition.
“The area has undergone stages of restoration from clearing out rubbish, uprooting weeds between the cobbles, wall detailing, and power washing. I’ve added dianthus, lavender, tomato plants, lobelia and a Chinese lantern tree - you live and grow around your environment and what you have,” Nick said. The pair hope to replicate the Yew Tree Moss Side alley and develop a space that residents can come to love and spend time in.
“Living in Moss Side completely changed my mindset on ginnels and alleys, they can be so beautiful, and created as an extended garden and shared space for local residents. It’s great to see all the garden alleys popping up in and around the area now, and we hope we can help Levenshulme become the same.”
“I have an inspiring vision for this place through engaging the community and making that vision a reality. Cleaning and maintaining is not just about physical cleanliness, it’s a group involvement and helps create a safe, clean and inviting communal space,” she told the MEN.
