The Dreamscape Gardens originally featured on New Cathedral Street Image as part of Dig the City 2013, Manchester’s urban gardening festival, but has now found a new permanent home in Piccadilly Basin as part of the Manchester Garden City scheme. The garden includes lots of balcony-style planting, a small water feature and view of the Rochdale Canal near the Hacienda apartments on Whitworth Street West Image It is looked after by the local gardening group, the Northern Quarter Greening Group. On January 2014 street artists Matt Sewell http://mattsewell.co.uk/?p=1792 and Richt http://news.richt-what.co.uk/post/75259887319/manchester-with-matt-sewell-last-week-matt-on were invited by the Outhouse Manchester Project http://outhousemcr.thecolouringbox.co.uk/ to create street art on the hoardings around the Dreamscape Community Gardens Image Apartments on Brewer Street are in the background.
