The Green Backyard

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 and happier.

We are open four days per week (Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday: 11.00 - 16.00). Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays are volunteer days for members of the public to drop in and lend a hand. These are friendly and informal and you don’t need any gardening experience - just turn up. Saturday is a weekly open day, a day to just visit the project and enjoy our garden, or to find out more about what goes on.
