Join us at Manchester Flower Festival and explore our Urban Pollinator Garden!

Public green spaces play a vital role in supporting urban wildlife - and nature is often closer than you think.

Step into the Urban Pollinator Garden, a vibrant showcase inspired by projects across Manchester city centre. Bursting with colour and practical ideas, this immersive garden celebrates the role of pollinators in our urban landscape, through nectar-rich planting, native wildflowers, trees, butterfly basking areas and creative habitat features - all designed to boost biodiversity and inspire action at home.

During the festival, our gardening team and volunteers will be on hand to share knowledge, answer questions and guide you through the design. All plants have been sourced from UK nurseries, and after the festival, the garden will continue to thrive at St Catherine’s Wood, Red Bank, forming the entrance to a new public urban forest.
