Our urban gardening initiative moved forward by leaps and bounds this week as we developed a popup flower and vegetable bed in the remains of a former playground.

Community interest was high as local residents came out to enjoy the sun and discuss our plans for the area. The part of Liverpool we're working in contains some particularly deprived areas, so investment of time or resources is well received!

The miniature garden is an experiment in kick-starting further interest in the sadly unused open spaces in Dingle, and we'll be back to expand on our initial plot in the near future!
