Free recycled leftovers from
the Chelsea Flower Show
Community gardens, city farms, school gardens and allotments
associations could get their hands on free plants and materials
from the Chelsea Flower Show this year, thanks to a scheme
set up by Good Gifts, the ethical gifts catalogue.
The company has recently negotiated with RHS to run a recycling
depot for gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show, which runs
from Monday 26th May to Monday 2nd June and expects items
like plants, turf, bricks, stone, paving, breeze blocks,
plant pots and timber to be available.
This year, because exhibitors are being encouraged to recycle,
there may be a great deal, but to get a chance of grabbing
some free goodies, FCFCG members need to register and groups
will be selected on a first come, first served basis.
Once registered groups will then be given a specific time
between Monday 26th May and Monday 2nd June when they can
come and collect. Groups will need to provide their own
transport and enough manpower to load up their own vehicles.
To get involved you will have to complete an application
form. On this form you can list items you are particularly
interested in having.
If you would like any further information regarding the
scheme or an application form please contact Alex on people@charitiesadvisorytrust.co.uk
