The ‘Growing Together’ research team in partnership with ‘The Good Things Collective’ hosted the first of five micro-gardening workshops at a new site in Morecambe’s West End on the 22nd August. The site is a 7 x 20 metre patch of waste ground on the corner of Sefton Road and Cavendish Road. The aim of these workshops is to engage with the local community around issues of well-being, social cohesion and the positive impact that small-scale gardening could have on local community members. The outcome of this project will be a well-being barometer, that will be co-designed with the local community to creatively reflect their feelings and experiences throughout the process.
