Share the love

Bramble clearing and hole-digging were not even a challenge for this group of hardy GoodGymmers!

Runners, walkers, cyclists and four-wheeled, we came in all shapes and forms to the Maidenhead Community Allotment.

While Sol and Tony dug a big hole for the planting the big fig tree, all the others set upon the brambles around the new fruit trees. Once cleared, everybody joined the diggers - some to help move the tree into the hole and others to ensure the quality of the planting.

We nearly had a moment of Jen-tree-fication when Jen jumped in the hole to push down the tub meant to hold the tree. But she was safely removed before the tree was successfully planted.

A special shout out to Viv on racing to 10 deeds already in no time!


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.
