Four GoodGymers met at Braywick Heath Nursery to help them prepare for a bumper Summer. This meant "plugging" saplings into pots filled with compost.
In a bright back-room, with the radio belting out easy tunes, we plugged away! It was therapeutic, almost. We worked non-stop for 2 hours and must've filled close to 100-200 pots.
Ben, the Nursery manager who worked tirelessly to top up compost, move the filled pots, bring new plugs etc, joked that we had worn him out, we were that efficient! We'll take that as a compliment and look forward to wearing him out again in the future 😂

We are a small garden garden centre providing volunteering, work experience and employment for adults with support needs
We run a not-for-profit company, supported by paid staff & community volunteers to provide volunteering, work experience and employment for adults with a wide range of support needs. We are currently having a big clear out across our site, and need help moving all of the material to a skip. This will enable us to better use the space we have to expand our operations and better support our volunteers and staff.

I was so pleasantly surprised at how good it was! Usually the mention of 'compost' is enough to send me running Inn the opposite direction 🤭

Excellent work! Just think of those hundreds of plants getting bigger and blooming all over Maidenhead over the coming months 😍
