What is it? | What are we trying to do?
The Mulgrave Street Community Garden was the first, pioneering project of MSAG. It has seen a triangular flytipping hotspot on the street be created into a multipurpose modern-greenspace which is now a centrepiece of the regeneration of Toxteth.
The land was transformed with openness in mind so that a variety of projects can be delivered for the benefit of the community. MSAG is working hard to see these projects into fruition. The space has so much potential; if you want to get in touch with an idea or proposition for UrbanScape, message us at the bottom of the page.
