Share the love

The weather had given the community allotment a good dose of rain the night before (hurrah!), so there was no need to do our weekly watering task, and the water butts were full to brimming So after watering the covered cold frame, Anita, Juli and Sheila turned their attention to weeding the vegetable beds Juli cleared the oxalis from under the bench, revealing some decking board - who knew that was there? When we had finished, the area between the beans, brassicas, spinach and under the cherry tree had been cleared of weeds, and after a quick sweep of the paved areas we made our way home


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.
