Day 1

Today marked the beginning of MSA Live 2026! We received our project briefs, got together in our groups to do some ice-breakers and begin organising the project, and met our client. Safe to say that Group 27 are very excited to work with Kay from Blossom Charity in Wythenshawe Park over the coming months!

Site Visit

Following our meeting with our collaborator, Group 27 took a visit to Wythenshawe Park to visit Blossom Charity. We were welcomed by Kay and her colleague John, who both gave us an in depth tour of the various facilities at the horticultural centre. The charity is home to a wide range of plants, and supports people facing disadvantages in life by offering them the opportunity to help maintain these plants. As well as this, Blossom offers cooking and food-growing classes. These activities help people by building their confidence, providing them with company, and improving their health. Kay has outlined that Blossom needs environmentally friendly and cost effective renovation ideas for their greenhouses and classrooms, and it is now up to us to help her achieve this. The site visit inspired us, and we are all very excited to get started!
