Waste Minimisation
Drop your kitchen waste to be made into compost and used on the gardens.
- Please place your full bucket with lid at the collection point for processing.
- Place a tile on the lid of the bucket to prevent entry by animals.
How can you help?
Volunteering is great but if time is not in your hands and you are unable to garden, payment for plants and produce can be made at the donation/koha box on the front shed. Some items are priced others are not . As a guide for payment keep in mind that we are a not for profit organisation growing crops and raising plants organically as well as operating a trust-based economy. Trust is the cornerstone of a healthy economy.
