Community Backgreens
Almost all of the tenements in Edinburgh have a backgreen. In some cases these backgreens are well used and cared for, and in others, neglected and of little amenity to the residents. ECBA was established to encourage and support tenement dwellers to work with their neighbours to regenerate backgreens into beautiful and bountiful community greenspaces.
The kind of support we can offer depends upon the goals of the residents and the make up of the backgreens at your site. In this section of the website we have provided a lot of information about the community backgreen model and how to develop a project. If you have any questions after having a browse, get in touch.
