Report written by Windsor and Maidenhead runner
4 Goodgymers helped out at the community allotment on a lovely sunny evening. Jess and Abbi got there early and had done the watering before Sheila arrived. Then it was on to transplanting a couple of currant bushes to their final places, and a blackberry plant into a pot ( with some yummy horse manure mixed in) Our last task was to start filling bags with soil from raised bed 14, as this bed needs to be moved to make way for a greenhouse. We uncovered an acorn and a chocolate digestive biscuit (!), perhaps a squirrel's winter stash, and an item we thought looked like a finger bone but was just a piece of clay, but it led to some interesting conversations! The 21 bags were stored near the temporary compost heap, but still plenty more soil to be emptied
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.
