We’re working with our wonderful associate artist Angelica Vanasse, the brilliant youth-led Climate & Nature Advocacy group Mersey Wilders and the evergreen & marvellous Grapes Gardeners.
Come by and find your balance.
This event is especially aimed at younger folks in our community and across the Liverpool City Region aged up to 25 years and is open to all ages too!
SEED GROWING – grow herbs; fast growing green hearty, healthy tasty-ness to add to your spring cooking!
CLOTHES SWAPPING – refresh your wardrobe… bring a few colourful items to share! We’re looking for clothes with a story…share what they mean to you before you swap for something new!
NATURE DRAWING – we’re thinking about ourselves as seeds in our neighbourhoods, growing together. Let’s draw and paint what that could look like.
GARDEN TOUR & WINDSOR STREET WALK – let’s take a walk along Windsor Street and notice what is springing up. Come and see the newly installed clay sculptures in the garden inspired by and in collaboration with artist Imayna Caceres’ and her exhibition Underground Flourishings as part of Liverpool Biennial.

This event is part of Treasure; a hands-on, creative project that explores food, waste and materials through growing, cooking, preserving, repair and sharing that the Squash crew has been sharing at youth clubs & groups in Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley & St. Helens. Sessions are relaxed and practical; growing herbs, cooking together from scratch, learning how to use leftovers, sewing & upcycling clothes, and hosting shared meals or a clothes swish (swap!). The emphasis is on creativity, confidence, skill building and connection! It’s been a winter into spring delight, made possible through funding from the Zero Waste Community Fund 2026/27, managed by Merseyside Recycling & Waste Authority (MRWA) in partnership with Veolia, supporting community and voluntary groups, social enterprises and not-for-profit organisations to develop initiatives that cut household waste, increase recycling and reuse, and help reduce carbon emissions.
