The School of Enchantment was created to generate sustainable income for our community project, Incredible Edible Knowsley.
Every penny raised here is reinvested directly back into the project, supporting the people and the place we care so deeply about.
With government funding for our food club reduced by 79%, we are now exploring new ways to continue and grow our work within the community.
Through the School of Enchantment, we aim to help people reconnect with themselves, supporting each individual in discovering their own path. We recognise that everyone is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another.
Our community project grows food with the community, for the community. The food we grow is shared back out, helping to support local people.
We also sow seeds and nurture seedlings, which are then donated so individuals, schools and community groups can grow their own food at home.
We offer workshops that guide people from soil to fork, alongside education on the many benefits of growing your own food.
Our food club provides an affordable way to shop, with members from across the Liverpool City Region.
On site, we have a holistic shop and apothecary, as well as a therapy room used by holistic and spiritual practitioners.
We deliver therapeutic horticulture sessions for schools and for adults with learning difficulties and disabilities, creating inclusive opportunities to connect with nature.
As our project continues to grow, we are expanding into wellbeing days, retreats and courses through the School of Enchantment.
This winter, we will also be creating a woodland space, planting 150 trees. Within this woodland, two bell tents will provide peaceful spaces for retreats and therapies.
