Restoration and Conservation of this Grade I listed garden into an oasis of tranquility for all.
To maintain and develop the gardens biodiversity within a city environment thus creating a safe oasis of calm nestling within Liverpool's historic Georgian Quarter. We aim to teach and inform people about the local flora and fauna and the history of the garden whilst using this project to engage with those communities attached to it.
Why the community needs usSt James Garden has a remarkable history situated in Liverpool's Georgian Quarter but in 2001 it was a no go area. A team of dedicated volunteers have slowly returned these gardens and its heritage back to the people, used by local community, visitors and tourists. Our diverse community will benefit from a safe environment where they can relax, improve their health and appreciate their local heritage and wildlife.
