An urban sanctuary has been created at the Whitworth, this Art Garden in the gallery’s grounds. Devised by renowned landscape and garden designer Sarah Price, the layout of the garden is focused on waves of texture, colour and scent, which reveal themselves throughout the seasons.

The garden is a key space for outdoor events and horticultural activities such as the GROW project, which promotes the benefits of engaging in horticultural activities to improve the mental wellbeing of an individual. Working together in the garden allows each individual to learn new horticultural skills as well as creating a nurturing sense of community.
