The Green Backyard

The Green Backyard Community garden in central Peterborough The Green Backyard is a community growing project in central Peterborough.

From this urban base we have transformed a once-derelict former allotment site into a beautiful and productive green space. We promote sustainable lifestyles and raise awareness of environmental issues through practical demonstration and community involvement. With regular workdays, events and activities we bring people and communities across Peterborough together to be a bit greener, healthier an

d happier. We're also home to Refill Revolution Peterborough (), the shop stocks a wide variety of ethical and organic dried and tinned foods, as well as fresh, organically grown veg (when available) and eco-friendly household products such as cleaners and toiletries. We are open three days per week (Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday: 11.00 - 16.00). You don’t need any gardening experience - just turn up.

We held a great day for the children today in partnership with Where the wild ones learn curriculum.

The children got to learn about and hold lots of different animals including snakes, owls, chinchillas and more.

Some lovely nature crafts and lots of play.

We had a year 2 class from Brewster Avenue School visit last week.

They have been doing a project on Bees and bought some lovely posters they had made for us to display.

We gave them a talk about bees and showed them a hive and all the beekeeping equipment. We spoke about why and how bees make honey, they told us all the things they had been learning.

We then showed them all the honey harvesting equipment and how you use it each having a go on the honey spinner.

The children then got to make some pine cone bees and paint some woodslice bees. Before having a play in our beautiful community garden.

If you know of any community groups or schools that would like a visit then just send us a message.
