Imagine creating a place where children learn to grow their own food, wildlife flourishes and communities come together. Your £10 donation helps make that happen.
As a thank you for your support, one lucky donor will receive a truly unique prize that can't be bought anywhere else.
🌱 Why We Do What We Do
We believe waste should never be wasted.
What started with one unwanted bathtub has grown into an award-winning movement, transforming discarded bathtubs into thriving community gardens that inspire learning, improve wellbeing and bring people together.
At Up The Garden Bath, we're creating spaces where children discover how food grows, communities reconnect with nature, and forgotten places are transformed into vibrant green spaces.
So far, we've:
- 🌱 Installed 70+ upcycled bathtub planters across Cambridgeshire.
- 👨👩👧👦 Inspired 30,000+ families through free environmental, educational and creative activities.
Every planter proves that simple ideas can create extraordinary change.
💚 Why Your Support Matters
Demand for our projects continues to grow. Schools want outdoor classrooms, community groups want welcoming green spaces, and residential care homes want gardens that improve wellbeing and reduce loneliness.
With your support, we can say "yes" to more communities.
Your donation will help us:
- 🌿 Create more upcycled community planters.
- 🎓 Deliver free gardening and environmental education workshops.
- 🌼 Inspire more people to connect with nature.
- 🤝 Transform overlooked spaces into thriving community gardens.
Every pound helps us turn waste into opportunity.
🌍 Help Us Grow
Our vision is simple: a future where every community has access to beautiful green spaces that educate, inspire and bring people together.
One unwanted bathtub. One community transformed.
Every donation makes a difference. Whether you choose to donate £1, £10 or more, you're helping us create greener, healthier communities.
As a thank you, every £10 donation will be entered into the prize draw to win our exclusive Football Rebooted and Utilita sponsored Up The Garden Bath Community Garden Package, including professional installation at a school, community centre, residential care home or other community location of your choice.
