Upcoming walks.
Back a yardd
Back A Yardd is a South-London based community-focused collective which aims to reconnect people of the Global Majority back to the land.
We believe that our communities deserve to have more knowledge and autonomy over our health and wellbeing.
Through making urban foraging, herbal medicine making, and meditative practices more accessible, we encourage and help our local London community to re-adopt ancestral knowledge and re-learn indigenous practices. We introduce individuals to the plant foods and medicines that grow readily available and abundantly all around us in the city.
The phrase ‘back a yard’ is a Caribbean phrase literally translates to mean “the way things are done back home.” We want to help our local community to feel companionship with the natural world and more connected to our surroundings.
Back a yardd are anti racist, decolonial, trans-inclusive, queer friendly, inter-faith, culturally appreciative and age inclusive. Whilst we will centre the experiences of people of the Global Majority, it is open to everyone.
This collective was birthed by Frankie Rechere and Rebekah Williams, two friends with a shared ethos of decolonizing land knowledge and access whilst also reconnecting communities of the Global Majority back to their innate ancestral plant wisdom.
