Environment

‘Chipping in Bloom’ believes that our role is to protect and enhance their environment, and we follow a cycle of REVIEW, RENEW, REVIVE, throughout the village, and where possible we REDUCE and REPURPOSE.

We make and use our own peat-free compost from raw materials gathered from our planting areas, and plant food is made using comfrey and nettles grown in the Wildflower and Wildlife area.   Green manure is grown on vegetable beds in winter which is then used to enrich the soil. The greenhouse is used for overwintering plants, raising cuttings and growing plants from seeds.

Recycled materials are used where possible as can be seen in the stone structures built at the village entrance, and the bench plinth in the wildflower area.
