You can catch more show gardens on Victoria Street at Manchester Cathedral, New Cathedral Street and St. Anne's Square where there is also a festival hub for food, drink and live talks and demonstrations from the likes of Diarmuid Gavin.

I think my favourite garden was the Optical Illusion garden by Dreamscape Gardens. It included a water feature Charlie Dimmock would approval of and cool prism spy holes that distort your view of the garden and create a kaleidoscope effect.

The festival ends on August 10th, so step out and be inspired to pot a pansy or two!
