Our project works with local businesses to reduce waste and landfill. We take old unwanted materials such as bathtubs and upcycle them into educational garden planters. We use our planters & our fun educational workshops to teach children all about the importance of recycling, preserving wildlife & growing their own food.Up The Garden Bath is committed to fighting food poverty, educating future generations about gardening & recycling, creating employment opportunities, promoting health, wellbeing & environmental improvement.Our aim is to make gardening accessible to everyone regardless of their demographic or physical limitations.Our planters & made from recycled materials by a network & community of skilled tradesmen who share our ecological ethos.We work alongside local youth organisations to empower people & create opportunities through hands on learning.We also offer a gardening consultation service that works with various charities to rejuvenate and regenerate local areas into pocket pollinator parks. These parks encourage & enhance wildlife in the local area.We want to work with local communities across Peterborough to transform run down areas that are often blighted by fly-tipping. We aim to bring communities together with a shared project that enhances their local area.We are also hoping to launch a mentoring scheme that pairs up individuals who have found themselves excluded from mainstream education with experienced skilled professionals, these skilled individuals will teach them new skills that they can then use to gain employment.We believe in creating opportunities & opening doors for everyone. We have created a community of like minded businesses who are all working together to make a better world.Gardening, self sufficiency & sustainability are crucial to all our futures.We registered as a Community Interest Company in February 2020 and have already been fortunate enough to win a prestigious small business award from Theo Paphitis. The business is exploding & demand for our upcycled bathtub planters is high.We have created multiple community hubs in the Cambridgeshire area. These community hubs work with local tradesmen in their area to reduce waste.We would love to talk to you in more depth about our exciting project & explore potential collaboration opportunities. https://www.itv.com/news/anglia/2021-04-19/flowerbeds-baths-and-beyond-peterborough-charity-wins-award-for-transforming-unwanted-tubs
