Greenshoots

Greenshoots Greenshoots (formerly Sefton Green Gym) is a community allotment run by members to grow and share We meet on Thursdays from 10:00.

Located at the back of Queensway Allotments in Crosby, we have a large plot with a couple of dozen raised and other beds, two poly tunnels, a small orchard, a fruit cage, and even bee hives and a pond. All manner of vegetables are grown, from artichokes to zuccini : roots, salads, herbs, legumes, herbs, soft fruits, tree fruits … there’s something for everyone. There are also flower beds, a wildli

fe fence to attract birds and insects and other interesting features. Don’t be put off by the word Gym - we don’t do any formal exercise (except once when a TV crew came). We break up the work with stops for drinks and chat (just bring your mug) and lunch and chat. There is always a lot of chat and laughter when we are working as well. Even if you go home tired, you’ll feel much better for it. Come along, or drop us an e-mail to find out more.

Fundraising Success!

After some hard work this spring in growing hundreds-maybe thousands!-of plants from seed, we set out a stall to send them to new homes in exchange for donations towards a new skin for the poly.

A good chunk of the money for a new cover was raised and many flower and veg seedlings have gone off to new homes.
