ATTENTION all Quarry Managers!
Are you working on an active quarry? Would you like to create a wellbeing space outside your site office for you and the rest of the quarry staff to enjoy? A space that can also help fight the decline of biodiversity. We are offering nectar rich plants along with a water butt for you to do just this on your quarry!
The Cemex/RSPB partnership have identified £200 worth of peat-free, nectar rich planting which every quarry site can apply for by 31st July 2023. Along with the planting we will supply a 250-litre water butt to help you reduce water use and keep your new wellbeing garden looking healthy. We will organise delivery of plants and water butt to your site to get you started.
In return we ask that you build planters using recycled materials from your site using a little Cemex knowhow! For example, old tyres or crates can be made into planters.
Soils can be taken from the surrounding area. Please use peat-free compost (such as Silva, New Horizon General Purpose) if you are using additional compost.
The Competition
Make sure you take photos of your planters as we will be running a competition, judged in Spring 2024, for the Best Use of Recycled Materials and Best Overall Garden. Prizes include a picnic bench, garden tools and bird feeders.
We would love to see photos of you receiving the plants and water butts, building the planters, planting them up and then sitting back and reaping the benefits of all of your hard work! Send your photos to the Communications team at gb-communicationsandpublicaffairs@cemex.com
