Report written by Manjit Birk
Tonight's task was to help Raggy Road Allotments with their allotment plots and help get them ready for their service users.
It was lovely to meet Sharon, The Chair of the allotment association as well as Anita our task owner. With 4 of us on duty tonight we wanted to crack on to get the tasks completed so after the introductions we got to work - it was a grape day for a bit of digging!
The smell of mint was just beautiful. The whole allotment is actually very stunning.
Peter helped Sharon on her plot and removed all planting on it getting it ready for the raised planters to be moved onto it.
Whilst Pam, Sandy and I worked on a plot of a lady with disabilities. All we had to do was turn it over and remove the weeds! Easier said than done. We definately got the 'gym' part of GoodGym in tonight..
Within 45 minutes we had done a fair amount of work, and were ready for our photoshoot!
This is a lovely task to do. Great deal of satisfaction and we actually have tasks booked most Saturday's here. They very mulch appreciate our help in case you are free at the weekends.
Community allotment where over 18s can join our membership and have a small patch to grow whatever they want. We have group get togethers and visit garden exhibits like Kew Gardens. This is an opportunity to meet people who have same interests. Check our Facebook page 'Raggy Road Allotments Group'.
