Maidenhead & Windsor

Maidenhead Green-fingered gardeners who are keen on composting and gardening greenies who would like to learn more have the perfect opportunity to reap the experts’ knowledge at a special event at Braywick Nature Centre this month.

Royal Borough countryside rangers and waste awareness officer Ankit Rao are holding a ‘Compost Corner’ at the Hibbert Road, Maidenhead centre from 1 – 4pm on Saturday May 12 as part of Compost Awareness Week.

They will reveal the secrets and benefits of successful composting at home – composting is a great way of using kitchen and garden waste to improve the quality of the soil and it reduces the amount of waste going to landfill.

There will be fun hands-on activities for children and the rangers will hand out vouchers to be redeemed at Braywick Heath Nursery for a FREE bag of compost made from Royal Borough green waste.

Visitors are invited to go along any time between 1 – 4pm. All children must be accompanied by an adult – and should bring a small flowerpot for growing their own ‘magic’ beanstalk.

There is no entrance fee but donations are welcome.
