Start in the Park is a friendly and supportive gardening project run by Start in Salford within Buile Hill Park in the heart of our community. In 2011, with your support we were successful in winning 'The Peoples Millions' Lottery funding of £50,000 to develop a new growing space within the park for everyone to enjoy.
We run our hands-on gardening sessions throughout the year at Start in Salford and in Buile Hill Park, to nurture an interest in 'grow your own', to pass on practical skills and guidance to novice gardeners and to provide opportunities for people to engage in an activity renowned for its therapeutic benefits - together we will create a thiving community project.
If you live in Salford and would like to meet new people and learn gardening skills, why not give it a go by joining one of our groups or volunteering? You can get involved in a variety of seasonal activities and reap the rewards of your hard work come harvest time.
Through our horticultural projects Start in Salford encourage participants to regain a sense of community and belonging, helping to ease mental health and social exclusion issues within Salford; with our long term aim being to build a sustainable not for profit business through selling our produce, improving the skills, opportunities and prospects of local people.
Come along and see us at the park or for more information ring Start in Salford on 0161 355 6000 or email us
