    Josh the E-gardener makes a storage box from a pallet

These models can be applied across a variety of sectors and problem behaviours, for example; quitting smoking, beginning recycling and increasing productivity, to name a few.

    Pallet Planter Workshop

    over 2 years ago


    This workshop grew out of a project idea posted over 2 months ago on this page, under the ‘Ideas’ tab, with a photo of a planter seen in Surrey made from wooden pallets. Those attending the Physical Environment network meetings agreed that this was an innovative way to give old pallets a new life and cultivate green spaces for very little cost. Councillor Donna Stimson and the Green Skills Library kindly offered to deliver a 2-hour workshop at Maidenhead Library for community members.


    It was great to see community members, staff, and volunteers working together!

    We used donated materials (including... Continue reading
