Overview

We want to see thriving people and communities in Bootle. Our work increases personal well-being and builds community using the tool of community gardening We deliver activities in various locations across Bootle but our home is North Park Community Garden. Our general sessions are open to everyone to get their hands dirty and learn how to grow. In every session we eat together, often cooking with what we grow, as this builds relationships and quickly builds personal connections. We share food, produce and recipes to promote healthy eating and everyone who attends our sessions takes home a share of the produce at harvest. We also grow in our public spaces in Bootle as we know that this brightens our town and promotes community pride. We make jams, pickles and chutneys with any surplus food grown and sell these at local markets. In addition we also sell bespoke and upcycled craft items and deliver creative arts workshops to generate income and increase our sustainability.
