For anyone who hasn't visited us before, we don't have a post code but The Junction's over the road is WA11 7JU, and Bridge Farm Rainford is next door. If you have what 3 words you'll find us at ///fork.horn.signal.

There is a car park, but it can get busy so you may prefer to walk along the linear to the allotment or catch the 157 or 38 to Rainford Junction (pub bus stop) and walk the short distance to the allotments 💚 see you there!

As part of our open day, we are excited to host our second 'mindful planting' session on 16th May. This is a free activity where you will obtain skills to help with wellbeing, mental health and making the link between gardening and good health.

No experience necessary. You will be guided through a short relaxation session, and then a demonstration of how to make you our own flower planter which will be yours to take away on the day.

Our aim is to offer something meaningful to the community, share a positive experience of gardening, and encourage those with smaller spaces that gardening is possible.

It is all free, please pop along and join us.
