Lotus Brook is a community-focused horticulture and garden design organisation based in Bootle, Merseyside. Working with communities since 2013, it aims to beautify urban spaces, encourage enjoyment of the outdoors, and build resilient communities through food and flower growing. Its approach is shaped by a belief that growing can bring people together, inspired by founder Christine’s family experience of sharing home-grown crops with neighbours.

Lotus Brook creates naturalistic, low-maintenance gardens and urban spaces designed around the needs of communities and nature. Its work often draws on brownfield settings, local industrial waste materials and industrial colour palettes. Through projects such as Taking Root in Bootle, the organisation helps communities engage with growing and their local environments. Its work also includes schools, community initiatives and consultancy, with case studies and partnerships featured on its website. Lotus Brook welcomes enquiries about its work and can be contacted by email or telephone at its Bootle address.
