Checking in on the Community Allotment
3 GoodGymers made their way to help the Maidenhead Community Allotment in Windsor and Maidenhead.
- Thursday, 15th of September 2022
- Led by Jess Smith
Gillian, Anita and Jess met at the community allotment to complete the small list of jobs from the task owner.
They had to dismantle the tub of runner beans that had died, pull out the peas which were over and refill the empty water butts.
Anita quickly had the hose set up and water butts filling whilst Gillian and Jess pulled out the canes and dead plants from the runner bean tub and pea patch. The canes were then left in the shed for use on the next batch of veg to be planted!
Whilst the water butts were filling the team gave the whole site a good watering (which meant the water butts took longer to fill as we kept stealing the water!), and perused the numerous plants growing in the garden.
It has been so great to see this garden grow and GoodGym even get a mention on the plaque of supporters on the shed!
With 4 water butts filled the team left the garden in peace and look forward to the next visit to see what has changed again.
