BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine

We’re the tops!

-

I’d like to share how I re-use GW Magazine, once it’s been read front to back.

When Covid began, I started making jams and chutneys for local people, selling them at the roadside. All the money raised went to support Cornwall Air Ambulance, while providing much appreciate­d jams for folk who could not get to the shops. The idea was so successful that local children made me a wooden display stand, and another neighbour a lovely board to draw attention to the produce. A real community effort. Rather than purchase toppers for the jams, I use the beautiful full-page photos from your magazine – the fact that they are compostabl­e is popular with my customers. So far Air Ambulance has £500 in donations.

Thanks for providing a great magazine, which never makes it to landfill from my house.
