Today was a mega-planting day at the Community Allotment, and fortunately we had five mega GoodGymers signed up to come and help Our taskowner Sue had left us several trays of seedlings, as well as comprehensive instructions on where to plant them. Jess and Sol took charge of filling up several boxes with a mix of soil and horse manure, and planting them up with courgettes and cucumbers. Christine planted up the kale and sweet peppers, while Sheila and Sara planted the beans. We finished up by all planting the leeks and beetroot in various locations. After a quick water, despite the rain, we were pleased with our work and look forward to a bumper crop


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.
