Roots In The City
at St Michael In The City
Working closely with the community, we have grown our work at St Michael in the City over the past three years. The project centres around developing a garden that both cares for the environment and the community and connecting and growing the community around St Michael in the City.
Our work includes:
clearing, developing and growing garden space
offering gentle, therapeutic outdoor activity for participants that increases physical and mental wellbeing
City & Guilds horticulture qualifications through Myerscough college
running a Community Social Food Market with support from Micah
cooking nutritious and tasty lunches
creating community space with art and mindfulness activities

“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.”
“What I get out in the garden it's better than any tablets a doctor can give you – it’s organic therapy.”
One of the group members who suffers from bi-polar disorder said “thank you for helping me realise my passion, now I enjoy just sitting and weaving for hours” after continuing with her mandala project at home for several weeks after the session.
Gill Reeve volunteered with us as part of her William Temple scholar studies. Gill has written 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
