The Green Backyard

Community garden in central Peterborough The Green Backyard is a community growing project in central Peterborough.
(72)

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.

Did you know you can now get deliveries from Refill Revolution Peterborough ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Happy Monday all! I've just spent the last hour checking the delivery website is up to date and adding products that have somehow been left out (noodles and jumbo oats). Plus adding in some of the newer products such as the chocolate, salted caramel almonds and the miceller water.

If you can't make it down to the shop, deliveries are a great way to:

1. Reduce your single use plastic - liquids are in returnable glass bottles, foods in paper bags.

2. Support local businesses. Milk in glass bottles from Bassingthorpe, (cheaper than milk and more too) local organic eggs, veggies from Project Abundance, Liquids from Fill based in Finedon, etc

3. Support a fairer, greener supply chain. All of our products are carefully sourced. Most coming from cooperatives, companies that are B Corps or smaller companies who we ask lots of annoying questions!
