Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner
Angela, Christine and myself went to the Community Allotment this afternoon to tend to the veggies and help with various tasks that need doing.
As the clouds were gathering, after months of dry weather, we were hopeful that the nature would do the watering for us. But no!... after a little sprinkle, the sun returned.
We watered the plants, refilled the water butts, bagged some of the leaf mould for later used and checked the gutters were clear for when the rain returns.
Needless to say, that it's pouring down with rain, as I write this report! At long last... nature is getting a proper drink!!!
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.
