Our Growing Forward project brings together groups of local volunteers to develop community gardens in their neighbourhoods. To date we have engaged over 120 volunteer gardeners.
Gardening improves physical health and mental wellbeing as well as being a great way to meet new people and develop new skills.
We will be supporting up to 12 local groups with advice and expertise as well as small grants to get the community gardens established. Our programme in underpinned by an adult learning course which develops knowledge and techniques.
The project is funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and managed by Liverpool City Council.
