Share the love

Angela and Sheila went to help out at the Community Allotment. Extra watering was definitely not required after Storm Ciaran, but the allotment needed tidying up for winter. We hoed the long bed and then spread it with horse muck. We were delighted to see lots of worms, so covered it with weed suppressant membrane and left them to do what they do best. Then, while Angela cleared the old courgette bed, Sheila set to work strimming the grassy areas. We were treated to a double rainbow as we worked. We finished off by trimming some long bits of the hedge and giving the paths a sweep. By then the light was failing, so we made our way home


This task supported

The Maidenhead Community Allotment is run by a group of volunteers, who grow food to share with local residents, the users of the Boyn Grove Community and Resource Centre and Maidenhead Foodshare. They work with Men in Sheds, who are based on the same site. Men in Sheds is an initiative to combat loneliness by providing a space for men to connect and chat over practical tasks.
