Estate Development and Education will be partnering with Scouse Flowerhouse to undertake soil improvements along Maryland Street. We currently have a row of well-established trees that have compacted soil underneath. In order to allow for future planting and seeding of wildflowers under the trees we need to improve the condition and permeability of the soil, we will do this by spreading local leaf litter and Mersey grit below the trees to allow the build-up of a new nutritious soil layer.
We’re looking for some keen students to help us spread the materials across the site.
What do I need to bring?
Volunteers should wear clothes that they are happy to get dirty, work gloves will be provided.
Where do I need to meet?
Education Building, Maryland St, Liverpool L1 9DE in the Social Space on the ground floor.
