๐ŸŒฑ What a productive day with our Young Growers gardening group! ๐ŸŒฑ

Weโ€™ve been busy with some general garden maintenance, enjoying a fantastic harvest and, of course, having lots of fun along the way! ๐Ÿฅ•๐Ÿ…๐ŸŒฟ

We also continued our monthly citizen science project in partnership with the Mersey Gateway Environmental Trust. ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ”ฌ

Our Young Growers collect and analyse water samples from Liverpool Marina, helping to monitor the health of the River Mersey and contributing valuable data to support ongoing environmental research.

Itโ€™s brilliant to see our young people getting hands-on with gardening, science and the environment, learning, contributing and having fun while theyโ€™re at it! ๐Ÿ’š

๐ŸŒฟ What a brilliant day at the Secret Garden! ๐ŸŒฟ

We started the morning with a good stretch to get our muscles warmed up and ready for a busy day of carrying wood! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿชต

Then it was time to get stuck into our woodworking session. There was plenty of creativity, teamwork and a few sawdust-covered smiles along the way! ๐Ÿ”จโœจ

Weโ€™ll be continuing our woodworking next week, so watch this space to see how our creations turn out! ๐Ÿ‘€

Another fantastic day of learning, creating and enjoying the outdoors together. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ

๐Ÿš› One woodchip delivery... countless wheelbarrow trips later... ๐Ÿ˜…๐ŸŒฟ

Safe to say we got our steps in today! From shovelling and barrowing to raking it all into place, the community garden has had a well-deserved refreshโ€”and it's looking so much better already. ๐Ÿ’š

A massive thank you to Ciaran henders for kindly supplying and delivering the woodchip. We really appreciate your generosity and support. it helps us keep improving this space for everyone. ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ™Œ

Huge thanks as well to everyone at the secret garden who grabbed a shovel, pushed a wheelbarrow, or got stuck in. Teamwork really does make the dream work! ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฑ

What a day! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ

On Wednesday, we were so lucky to welcome volunteers from Kensington Fields Community centre to the Secret Garden. They worked so hard, bringing so much energy and kindness to the space.

I'll admit, I was really worried. With the hot weather and no access to a water mains on site, I genuinely thought we'd lose so many of the plants we've all worked so hard to grow.

Then, one phone call to Old Swan Fire Station... and they came straight to our rescue. ๐Ÿš’๐Ÿ’ฆ They turned up and gave the garden the water it desperately needed and filled all of our water butts. We honestly can't thank them enough!

A huge thank you to the volunteers from Kensington Fields Community centre for spending the day with us, and to the amazing crew at Old Swan Fire Station for stepping in when we needed them most.

Community really is everything. โค๏ธ๐ŸŒธ

What a few weeks it's been. โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š

From sunny days spent gardening together, to welcoming so many wonderful faces, it's been a season full of laughter, connection and community.

One of the highlights has to be seeing our incredible volunteer and artist, Carol, create the most beautiful painting, a reminder of the creativity, kindness and talent that flourishes when people come together.

We feel so grateful for everyone who gives their time, shares a smile, plants a seed, or simply comes along to be part of this special place. It's moments like these that remind us why community matters.

Here's to growing together, in nature, in friendship and in hope. ๐ŸŒฑโœจ

๐ŸŒฑ What a week it's been at Roots in the City! ๐ŸŒฑ

From watering, planting, growing, and welcoming visitors, our community garden has been buzzing with activity. Every week we see the power of people coming together to create a greener, healthier, and more sustainable space in the heart of Liverpool.

We're also excited about the growing focus on making Liverpool a "spongier" city. United Utilities has announced major investment in new rainwater management projects across Liverpool, helping communities capture rainwater where it falls and reduce pressure on the sewer network.

Roots in the City is already playing its part. Thanks to support from United Utilities, we've increased our rainwater harvesting capacity with over 2,400 litres of water storage through tanks, water butts, and planters. This means we can collect and reuse more rainwater to keep our garden thriving while helping manage water more sustainably.

Every drop collected is a step towards a greener, more resilient Liverpool. ๐Ÿ’ง๐ŸŒฟ
