Over the winter I've been volunteering in the refugee camps in Calais and Dunkirque.
The Dunkirque camp is today being moved to a cleaner, safer site provided by the local authority and Medicins Sans Frontieres, built with a huge amount of help from UK volunteers.
We'd like to create kitchen gardens for the residents of the camp - the benefits are obvious and there are 6 community kitchens being built which the gardens could supply.
We have plenty of room for this at present.
I'm a professional gardener so I'm happy to lead the project when I can be there, which will be intermittent.
It would be nice to hear the MN gardeners' input on this but initially I'm looking to install composters that will safely compost cooked food waste. There will be a lot of it so I'd really like to see it recycled on site.
Any suggestions welcome.
