From eyesore to community hub: changing places and lives at Grow Speke community garden

https://www.groundwork.org.uk/project... Grow Speke is an incredible garden oasis manged by Groundwork in the middle of a South Liverpool housing estate where people grow food, make friends and learn skills. Before the garden was created the site was derelict and attracted flytipping, drug use and anti-social behaviour. Now there are extensive vegetable gardens, fruit tree orchard, polytunnel and lots and lots of bees in eleven beehives, thanks to the hard work of local volunteers. Local families in need benefit from donations of food grown on the site, and the garden is also a venue for training people in horticultural and construction skills. Local schoolchildren attend outdoor learning sessions where they can learn all about bushcraft, how food is grown and about the environment. Above all, the site acts as a community hub that brings neighbours together who otherwise would be socially isolated.
