Millennium Project
No-one could have imagined what it would all lead to when PACT was approached in 2000 about creating a Millennium mosaic, but the result is now there for your enjoyment. The Millennium Garden was officially opened by the Mayor on Tuesday 25th June 2002.
The PACT Millennium Garden is the fruit of the inspiration, dedication, and generosity of PACT committee members and the Petersfield community, and was made possible by the skills of Cambridge City Council and a grant from the Environmental Improvement Fund. |
It can be found on the corner between Norfolk Street and St.Matthew's Street, next to the dental surgery. What used to be a patch of bleak and depressing concrete ... |
... is now a lovely landscaped garden, with bicycle racks and attractive railings, arches, and a special lantern: and the garden is filled with over 50 varieties of plants that will become more glorious as they mature.
