      <image:caption>May 2019: Rotavating Volunteer Caps and Faiths4Change trustee Phil spent days rotavating the soil to get rid of any left over roots – followed by a huge litter picking effort from our community group. We uncovered a sandstone rockery and a huge section of invasive bamboo on the far side of the garden.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Roots in the City Community Garden</image:title>
      <image:caption>June 2019: Food Growing Area We ran several community consultations and worked with a permaculture designer to create a plan for the garden. The community asked for a food growing area, reflective garden, lots of flowers and fruit trees. Caps and Phil covered the ground with weed control fabric and ISG built four raised beds in the food growing section of the garden. The beds were filled by our volunteers with eight tonnes of topsoil and a layer of compost. We planted out tomatoes, sunflowers and pumpkins.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>November 2019-February 2020: The Other Parts of the Garden Our weekly group began clearing the other side of the garden of invasive bamboo. We planted over 100 trees as a native hedgerow. Many more skips were filled!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Roots in the City Community Garden</image:title>
      <image:caption>March 2020: New Focus The Coronavirus social distancing measures came into action meaning many of our group were unable to come. We continued clearing with a small group of regular volunteers until the lockdown started at the end of the month. Faiths4Change's Food and Wellbeing Coordinator continued working in the garden alone for several weeks, planting seeds weeding beds and working out how to utilise the space to benefit the local community during this time.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Roots in the City Community Garden</image:title>
      <image:caption>April 2020: Redesigning Volunteer Caps returned to help out and we began harvesting spring crops and donating them to a local food bank. Using the funding and resources available we adapted the garden to enable us to grow as much produce as possible to meet the needs of the community. We built three new beds and created seven new food growing areas in total. Our focus switched to growing food staples for the local community. As ever, we continued to promote biodiversity in our garden by dedicating large sections of the garden to wildflowers and creating habitats for wildlife to thrive by leaving large sections uncultivated e.g. a plantain lawn.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Roots in the City Community Garden</image:title>
      <image:caption>April 2020 Continued: Staying Connected As well as serving the wider community with fresh produce we maintained contact with our regular garden group via a fortnightly newsletter with updates from the garden, tips for gardening at home as well as sharing photos and videos of other group members' home growing projects.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>May 2020: The Hunger Gap Since the end of April 2020 we donated a large veg box every week to the local food bank at St Brides. We kept records of all the harvests and in May donated around 10kg of fresh organic produce worth over £100 including salad, spinach, onions, broad beans, radish and a variety of fresh herbs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Roots in the City Community Garden</image:title>
      <image:caption>June 2020: Abundance Our wildflowers were blooming, creating a bee and butterfly haven. We received lots of generous donations from our garden group and other local charities to support us to continue our work. We received a grant to give out 20 home gardening kits to isolated or shielding households across Liverpool City Region which included compost, pots, instructions, seeds and seedlings grown in our garden or the yards of our regular group. The harvests were abundant and included beetroot, spinach, broad beans, chard, salad, onions, radish and fresh herbs bringing the total weight donated to over 30kg, with a value of over £200 of organic produce.</image:caption>
