The Regenda Homes Community Wellbeing
Apprentices latest project has not only
changed the landscape but also created a
lasting legacy of their hard work in Liverpool.
For months the apprentices, who already
have a reputation for improving the local
neighbourhood where they live, have been
busy transforming the land at the rear of the
Breckfield North Everton Neighbourhood
Council (BNENC) offices into a community
garden.
They’ve created a colourful nature trail,
constructed raised beds to encourage
locals to grow their own food and built areas
where people can relax and enjoy the new
surroundings.
Many local school children have taken part in
the nature trail quiz in recent weeks and it is
open to any local school wanting to take part.
If you know of a school that would like to try it,
please contact Project Manager, Kevin Short
on 01204 814317.

Community garden
in bloom
Green fingered Community Apprentices
have been busy installing planters on Grove
Street and Falkner Street in Liverpool for the
community to enjoy.
Fly-tipping was a problem on Falkner Street,
so the apprentices set to work cleaning it up.
They then created a community garden which
is now cared for by the local residents. Flowers,
fruit and vegetables are bringing the area
back to life with residents enjoying the bounty
throughout the year.
