Work has now started at Activate college, Kirkby

Work has been done to our smaller poly tunnel in January and will be ready for seedlings to be started in come February 2020

After everyone had worked very hard sorting out all the mess

These guys have been brilliant. Not only have they volunteered their time to come and build us a potting table that can be adapted for people in wheelchairs but they have also built a bench around a tree and 5 large raised beds that can be used by people in wheelchairs.

The team at Countryside Homes not only donated a large amount of wood to the project but also sent some of their staff to help to build raised beds and a bench around a tree. This has benefited so many people using the day care centre and will continue to do so. The beds built have been built so that people in wheelchairs can easily access them. Countryside Homes have been fantastic. Thank you

More people from the community are getting involved and it is becoming a place that people can come together socialising and enjoying each other’s company. Just some of the activities we do are: Weeding, digging, planting, harvesting, painting, building beds, cooking and we can’t forget sit around with a brew, good food, good company and chat. Why not come down and have a look around?

What a brilliant 2 days we had at Court Hey. The weather was lovey and we met some lovely people. Lots of interest on Incredible Edible Knowsley going into Court Hey Park using a part of what use to be the National Wildflower Centre. Can’t wait to get started.

These guys are brilliant. Geoff is here at the Craig’s daily maintaining the garden and both Neil and Andy are giving up their days off whenever they can to volunteer their spare time in the garden. Today they cleared up the front of the community centre.

These guys donated this green house to us and they were fantastic. When they heard about what we do they not only donated the greenhouse but brought the greenhouse to us. Thank you!

This is just some of the food that we have harvested over July at the Centre. Lots of people have benefited from the food and staff at the centre have made meals for those attending the Centre. More veg to come!

Here’s Kaitlyn one of our Young Incredible Edible Knowsley Ambassadors planting some of our trees that were donated to us from the Woodland Trust at Huyton Resource Centre. These trees have gone out across Knowsley and some will be planted out at Court Hey Park.

This is a group of young people who are engaging in a programme with NCS. They have volunteered a day at Huyton Resource Centre and have done a brilliant job. Thank you, you are all amazing and such a lovely group.

What a lovely day at Northwood Festival in Kirkby. The weather was lovely and we met some lovely people who are interested in growing food up in Kirkby. Incredible Edible Knowsley is working on setting up a growing area for the community but for the moment have 6 planters out in Kirkby.

What a fantastic day, we couldn’t have asked for better weather, a better turn out or better people. Our project has just gone from strength to strength and we couldn’t have done it without the community and all the people who have supported us. Thank you.

We are at Craig’s Community Garden and getting interview for Radio Merseyside and I’ve got to say Geoff and John were naturals.

Here are a few of our planters out in Kirkby that have cabbage, sprouts, onions and potatoes growing in them. The areas that we have them are: Southdene Community Centre, Northwood Community Centre, James Holt Avenue – Marje proudly next to her cabbage.

Just some of the food we have been growing at Stockbridge at Craig’s Community Garden.
