Who we are
We are a volunteer and community led garden
based in Ford, north Liverpool on the banks of the
Leeds-Liverpool Canal.
We grow a wide variety of fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers.
We also have an apiary and sell our own Ford Lane Honey.
The garden is also a learning resource where we deliver courses in food growing, horticulture, beekeeping and woodwork.
We work with the local community, local schools such as Rowan Park and Rowan High and with our educational partner, Blackburne House , where we host their training apiary to teach the beekeepers of the future!
Come and visit
We are based just off Ford Lane between 143 and 145 Ford Lane, L21 0HL. There is a little drive up to the garden next to a residential green square.
Parking: park on Ford Lane or the drive up to the garden
Cycling (from City Centre/Bootle): Head north along the canal tow-pat. After 1km from Tesco, exit onto Brindley Close, then onto Kirkstone Rd West and then first left onto Ford Lane. We are 200m up ford Lane, on the left.
Say hello
We are a group of local and not-so-local volunteers that work in the garden. Altogether, we all keep up the maintenance of the plot to make sure it is well managed and there is always food to be harvested throughout the year!
Read more
We welcome new volunteers at any time of the year - there is always something to do in the garden!
If you would like to know more about volunteering or buying fruit, veg, eggs or honey, then please contact us.
Since March 2017, we have been under new management of
B 4 Biodiversity CIC
who have a lease with One Vision Housing.
