Offshoots Permaculture Project

Offshoots Permaculture Project Tucked away in the historic walled garden of Towneley Hall in Towneley Park, Burnley. The Trust then secured funding to support staff and activities on site.

The Offshoots Permaculture Site is located in what was originally the walled kitchen garden of Towneley Hall. In 1902, the Hall and surrounding parkland was purchased from the Towneley family by Burnley Borough Council. The walled garden became the works depot of the Council's Parks Department and then eventually fell derelict. It was liberated in 1997 by a small group of enthusiasts and an Introd

uction to Permaculture course for local people was hosted. A project committee was subsequently formed and the garden's reconstruction as a Permaculture site began. In 2002, Groundwork East Lancashire Trust (now Newground) was invited to manage the site on behalf of the voluntary management committee.
