Grow Speke is green community hub in South Liverpool. It is run by Groundwork in partnership with South Liverpool Homes (SLH) and hosts a variety of activities.
Most of the fruit and veg grown on site is donated to local people and their families via local community groups. The rest is taken home by the volunteers themselves and eaten at home. Grow Speke also produces and sells honey, produced and harvested on site.
Activities Include:
- Beehive inspection and feeding bees if required
- Harvesting of produce across the raised beds and within polytunnels
- Taking excess produce to The Marketplace Community Food pantry for distribution
- Watering plants in polytunnel and raised beds if needed
- Weeding of bindweed and bramble encroachment
- Clearing of footpath to improve accessibility
- Clearing any raised beds and topping with compost
- Replanting any available space (will depend on timing of harvest)
