About the project
The Barnwell Verge: Seeds of Hope project is a community-driven response to environmental degradation and public safety along Barnwell Road in Cambridge. Sparked by a local young person’s idea, the initiative is transforming a compacted grass verge into a thriving, biodiverse green corridor.
Abbey People, Teasels Biodiverse Design, and Hurdy Gurdy Glass have been working with the community to improve a problem area on Barnwell Road, to help stop parking on the verge, encourage wildlife, integrate art and nature, and build relationships in the community.
