6 Goodgymmers decided to celebrate the end of the week with a spot of gardening at the Community Allotment. Angela, Gillian and Roberta took out the peas plants which had finished producing, and saved any mature pods for seed to be used next year. They did a great job of weeding the bed afterwards. Ann brought out the hose and started filling the water butts, and then joined Sheila and Rachel who were relocating raspberry canes which were smothering the asparagus bed, to an area behind the fig tree. Finally Angela took on the task of filling a half-barrel with a mixture of horse manure and topsoil to let it mature over winter. A great effort by the team, who took some beans and courgette home for tea


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.
