Share the love

Lisa, Sheila, Sol and myself made our way to the Community Allotment this evening to tend to the veggies, because we do give a fig! as a figure of speach, thanks to Sheila for the suggestion 😀 We watered the plants, we refilled the water butts and we bravely tackled the brambles and nettles overgrowth in the little orchard! And we were rewarded with the sweetest and juiciest figs that we've ever tasted, picked straight from the fig trees we've planted and replanted and tended to! All in great company!What more could one ask for?... Happy with the fruit of our labour we all headed towards our homes, some walking, some cycling.


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.
