SJ8298 : The Whole World Is A Garden
taken 11 years ago, near to Rusholme, Manchester, England
The Whole World Is A Garden
Originally created in 1992, the mosaic was designed by pupils from nearby St Philips School. The wording reads:
“If you look the right way you can see that the whole world is a garden”
In 2010 the Friends of Islington Park embarked on a project to restore a weather-damaged mosaic artwork in the park, working with the original pupils who created the mosaic and they in turn involved their own children. The centre of original artwork had to be replaced and the new design, developed with local school children, focused on the Secret Garden, written by Frances Hodgson Burnett who had lived in the Islington area as a young girl.
Islington Park is a remembrance garden for the 17,000 people, who were buried there between the harsh years 1829 and 1853.
The mosaic is part of the Irwell Sculpture Trail Link
