Description
An account of the resource
<p>Tucked in the heart of sandstone tenements, yards from busy Argyle Street in Finnieston, this urban garden grows various crops and houses a tool shed, polytunnel, greenhouse, five raised beds & mini orchard.</p><p>Up a lane between residential blocks, you may be expecting to find the usual city �back court�; dejected, empty washing lines and stowed bins. But behind Brechin Street you will find The Back Garden. <br /> <br /> Set up by Annexe Communities in 2011 using a grant obtained from the Climate Challenge Fund. The Back Garden was officially transferred to the G3 Growers the following year, a small committee from the community who oversee the smooth running of The Back Garden.<br /> <br /> As far as is known, the site was once occupied by a �mews building� which later became a motor workshop and after that was demolished it became a local fly-tip.<br /> <br /> Step into The Back Garden and you step out of the city. These tenements make effective sound barriers and screens the garden from the worst of the traffic fumes. All on ground level, the gravel pathways are easy for you to get around; motorised wheelchairs seem to cope better than manuals, prams and such.�<br />�</p><p>�</p><p>�</p>
