Roots In The City ​

​Working closely with the team at St Michael's in the City and local residents, we are co - creating an eco hub. The Hub centres around the large community garden.  We are inspired by nature, caring for the local environment, increasing biodiversity and growing the community around St Michael in the City.

​We have small group activity on site on Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays every week (all adhering to Covid 19 guidance) - .  Nature4Health, City & Guilds Level 1 & 2 with Myerscough College, Grow Your Own with Linda's and a regular drop in gardening group. We continue to maintain the garden to provide fresh food for Micah's foodbank. 
Please email Rachel for more information  rachel@faiths4change.org.uk  .
“What I get out in the garden it's better than any tablets a doctor can give you – it’s organic therapy.” 

​“I honestly do think the garden has been a positive thing for me, it’s let me contribute to something meaningful and given me something to focus on outside of my own head.” 
Gill Reeve volunteered with us as part of her William Temple scholar studies. Gill wrote a wonderful blog post about the community growing at St.Michael's In The City that you can find here: 
Do not despise the day of small things

Our community garden has been featured in the Liverpool Echo, read the article here.

Grow Your Own with Linda's

Faiths4Change have teamed up with Linda McCartney's to create a beautiful new community growing space at St Michael in the City Church as part of the Grow Your Own with Linda’s initiative. The project is providing access to outside space and opportunities for food growing in urban areas. 16 - 30 years olds are invited to get involved with developing the garden, building and food growing.
