The Not So Secret Garden

The secret is out!

At the beginning of June we had the pleasure of transforming The Stamford Quarter in Altrincham into a wonderful new, temporary community space.

The Not So Secret Garden is a collaboration between Bruntwood Works and Trafford Council, creating a fun, suburban green oasis with community, sustainability and well-being at it’s heart.

Built with reclaimed and recycled materials and lit with solar powered festoon lighting, emphasis on greenery is a must.

Using a combination of live greenery in reclaimed containers and artificial trailing plants cascading down from the building’s upper edges, Stamford Quarter now looks and feels completely different.

There’s a busy calendar of events and workshops planned for the whole of the Summer and from what we’ve seen already, it looks to be a reinvigorated and very popular new corner of Altrincham.
