Closed petition Manchester Piccadilly Vertical Gardens

Closed on 13 February 2014

Let's green away the grey!

We're working together to improve Piccadilly Gardens by growing vertical gardens on the ugly concrete walls.

• Create a beautiful environment for people to enjoy.

• Establish a modern cultural landmark for Manchester’s growing tourist market.

• Soften the appearance of Piccadilly Gardens and making it more inviting as a place to meet.

• Improve air quality next to the busy transport interchange.

• Help capture carbon, filter pollution and create a habitat for birds and bees.

• Teach children the value of the natural world among man-made environments.

We call on the Local Government to work with stakeholders and businesses to enable this initiative to be undertaken, in order to benefit the city's environment and economy.
