Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner
6 Goodgymmers met with taskowner Sue at the Community Allotment. The place has changed so much since last year, with many new raised beds, fruit trees and some wooden sheds and structures. Sue had a long list of tasks for us. Gillian, Rosie and Angela tackled the the spinach bed, removing the old chard plants and replacing with some young spinach Sheila dug one bed, removing a few raspberry canes to be potted up, and planted the bed with some dwarf bean plants with help from Angela. Meanwhile, Kanika and Diya weeded another bed and constructed 2 wigwams from bamboo poles. These were planted with climbing beans. Sue and Rosie also spent some time cutting back the brambles in the new fruit tree area Gillian gave everything a good water. A great way to start off the Bank Holiday weekend!
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.
