Roberta, Kay and Kanika helped out at the community allotment this Friday afternoon.

We started with the watering but after a slight confusion about the task with some other volunteers that turned up, moved to setting up a new bed for the raspberries. We lay down the black weed suppressant, topped with some horse manure and few bag loads of soil before planting the raspberries.

Here's hoping they thrive in their new bed.


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.
