William Roscoe, ‘the greatest of Liverpool’s citizens’ died on this day 30th June 1831 (192 years ago).

A group of us did some gardening, litterpicking and putting down roses on his monument in Roscoe Gardens.

[Dr John Maguire/ArtsGroupie @JohnnieMaguire]

To mark the anniversary of William Roscoe's death @friendsofroscoe and I,did a clean up of the space and planted a few things, including: Rosemary for remembrance, Sage to rid of negativity, Mint for good fortune.

Top evening at The Athanaeum with @LivTropicals @sinogrande @TheBotanics talking abt the Roscoe Collection & the rollercoaster ride of how the plants have survived through world wars, political wars & budget wars.

May we see more hope for the future of the plant collection💚

[LiverpoolBotanics @LivTropicals]

The putrid scent emitted from the inflorescence of Sauromatum venosum permeates the greenhouse @LivTropicals today.
The odour was enjoyed 😆 by our esteemed guests @IanByrneMP Raoul Curtis-Machin @TheBotanics & @sinogrande

[LiverpoolBotanics @LivTropicals]

@MHowie81 @B4Biodiversity @JohnnieMaguire We think it may be a bit of a specialist job but we can put this to the team and LSSL to see if we can have a go - we are just aware it’s a listed monument. Fancy joining us on our next clean up? 🧹🚮🧽💚

[The Friends of Roscoe Gardens @friendsofroscoe]

What a great Good Friday in Roscoe Gardens today. Blue skies, white blossom, daffodils and roses brighten up the grey environment 🤍💛💖💚

Perfect day for a litterpick, graffiti clean up and a saunter down to @RoscoeHead for a sunshine pint🍺

[Dr John Maguire/ArtsGroupie @JohnnieMaguire]

Thank you to all @friendsofroscoe this afternoon for a productive meeting in the sunshine...Small steps, daffodil bulbs blooming, litter picked and sign cleaning @B4Biodiversity @sean051

A day of sunshine and the greenhouses come to life @LivTropicals Strelizia reginae(Bird of Paradise) looks like he's laughing.

[The Friends of Roscoe Gardens @friendsofroscoe]

@LBimo1 @Scousergerry @LivTropicals 👍 all these ideas are what the gardeners have proposed before and have been knocked back numerous times.

Bullet points of the meeting will be posted by Stephen Guy v soon which we will share, too.

Please watch this space to find out when the next meeting will be and how you can get involved in the right steps being taken by the right people for the Roscoe Collection to be rightly saved 💚✊

[The Friends of Roscoe Gardens @friendsofroscoe]

We have heard that a group of people involved in the Athenaeum are/have recently written a heritage bid to develop and save the Peach House but we are unsure if this includes the full collection…
