Description of Organisation or Services
Volunteers learn about composting, recycling, plant reuse and water conservation as part of a wider horticultural remit...all this is promoted on the Facebook page so it can be disseminated to a wider audience.
A Young People’s Coordinator volunteer aims to convey green/wildlife issues to children locally
Planters with reservoirs have systematically replaced older planters to conserve water
All pots are reused and materials repurposed wherever possible
Pollinator friendly plants are used increasingly and more planting involves reused perennial plants
Compost used is peat free
