My Buzz

Up The Garden Bath is committed to education, fighting food poverty, recycling, creating opportunities, empowering, promoting health & wellbeing and environmental improvement.

Up The Garden Bath is an award winning Community Interest Company in Peterborough. We work with local businesses to reduce waste & landfill.

We take unwanted waste materials that would usually end up in landfill such as old bathtubs and upcycle them into educational garden planters.

Our upcycled bathtub planters are installed into schools, community centers and residential care homes. We use our upcycled bathtub planters to educate people all about recycling, gardening and sustainability.

Since launching in February 2020 we have installed over 50 upcycled bathtub planters across Cambridgeshire and delivered our educational workshops to over 10,000 people of varying ages & learning abilities.

Gardening has been proven to be beneficial to mental and physical wellbeing and we aim to make gardening accessible to everyone regardless of their demographic or physical abilities.

We work with local youth organisations to empower people & create opportunities through hands-on learning.

We also work with local communities to create community gardens and regenerate run down unkempt areas & fly tipping hotspots into pop up pollinator parks designed to encourage and enhance inner city wildlife. These community based projects encourage social cohesion and encourage communities to take pride in their area.

Our mission is to reduce landfill whilst promoting recycling, sustainability and healthy living through gardening.
