Overview
- Do you meet at a community venue that lots of groups use? Could you creae a communal compost heap to recycle green waste? Guides or members of The Senior Section could write and design promotional materials and guidelines to encourage its use.
- Contact your local authority to see if it has any community gardening projects that your unit could take part in. Or could you lend a hand to anyone who is finding their own garden hard to manage?
