Our Workshops
All of Grow's work is delivered within the context of respect for the natural environment and of the individual participating. This means we value each person for who and what they are and what they bring.
We run workshops for Adults, Children and for Families. For the general public, community groups, schools and youth groups and organisation.
Our upcoming public workshops are listed here. If you would like us to arrange a bespoke workshop for your group or organisation, please contact us here
Walking with Trees - the science, folklore and uses of trees
Do you love walking in the woods but want to know more about the trees around you? Would you like to know the difference between a spruce and a pine? Want to learn more about the many uses of a birch tree?
Discover the secrets of the forest - join us on this interactive walk around Bidston Hill where you will learn about the many different trees you may encounter in your local woodland. You will be guided around the landscape with explanation about the indicators of familiar and more unusual trees found in a British wood.
This workshop is designed for adult participants
Next date: Saturday 12th April 25
Here We Grow: Bentinck Street Community Project
Thanks to incredible community support and a generous donation from Liverpool City Region, we’ve surpassed our crowdfunding target! Over the next 8 months, we’ll be transforming the Bentinck Street site into a vibrant, sustainable, biodiversity-rich community garden.
While the site will be open to all, we’re kicking things off with scheduled activities, including training and volunteer workshops.
Our next sessions:
We have two free gardening events scheduled in March. The first is a taster session and second is a 6 week course. Both are fully funded by Wirral Lifelong Learning and open to people over 19yrs.
