ECBI - Edinburgh Community Backgreens Initiative - Providing Greenspace for the Community

Orwell

Introduction
The Orwell community backgreen is located off Dalry Road near Haymarket.  There are approximately 220 households living around the site.  The Orwell Community Backgreen Group was established in 2007.  The group is made up of folk who live around the site or own a flat there who are interested in working together to make the most of the potential of the backgreens.  We now have a shared shed and tools donated by ECBA for the use of group members.

Get Involved
To keep up to date with what's happening, and to get involved, join the Orwell group on Ning.  If you've just moved into the site please let ECBA know by email.

Photos
Here's a selection of photos of the project, please upload your own photos at the Ning site.
