Green mission and sowing hope
PINKNEYS GREEN: Volunteers began planting crocuses in Oaken Grove Park as the borough’s COPtober period takes bloom.
Members of the Rotary Club of Maidenhead Thames gathered on Saturday to sow the purple crocuses at the Sir Nicholas Winton memorial garden – part of Rotary International’s Purple for Polio campaign.
Rotarians will be planting several million crocus corms this month as part of Rotary’s ‘Billion Seed Challenge’, with surplus supplies distributed to primary
schools in Maidenhead.
The borough’s COPtober initiative has seen groups team up to highlight the climate emergency.
The RBWM Climate Emergency Coalition and Norden Farm will host a film screening on Tuesday. The documentary ‘Eating our way to Extinction’ will begin at 8pm in the cafe/ bar.
There will also be a climate stall in Maidenhead High Street on November 6 and 13
