Leaf Street Community Garden is situated on an old street which cuts through the 'Redbricks' estate in Hulme, immediately south of Manchester City Centre. In June 1999 a 72 Hour Permaculture Design Course was delivered by local permaculture teachers, Angus Soutar, 'Jungle' Jen, and Rob Squires. During the course a practical design project was undertaken, during which plans for the garden was developed. Practical activities also took place during the course, and the first raised bed was created at the southern end of the garden. The picture above show how Leaf Street used to be - a barren strip of grass, with nothing going on except the occasional dog walking. The picture to the left shows Hulme resident Jeem, who was one of the participants on the course, working on a permaculture design for the garden.
