SESSION ORGANISER
Find out about GoodGym TaskForce
Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner
It was a soggy start to our session at Maidenhead Community Allotment, where Gillian, Anita and Nicola were given a helping hand with the watering task by an honorary fourth GoodGym member - The Weather. But we dug deep despite the downpour to crack on with our other tasks, and planted a cherry tree, which got the seal of approval from a friendly (hungry) robin. We were rewarded with a beautiful rainbow overhead! There was even time for a bit of weeding in the sunshine that followed, and it was good to see some of the raspberry plants we've tended on previous missions are almost bearing fruit. This was the first of a series of Thursday evening missions at the allotment and we look forward to returning next week.
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.
