A NEW ornamental flowerbed has been planted to remind people to recycle.

The bed, in the gardens of Hall Place, Bourne Road, Bexley, has been planted in compost from Bexley's own recycled green waste.

Pilea and silver dust plants have been used to create the Recycle Now logo which is used to identify recycled products.

The planting was done as part of London Sustainability Week.

You can buy recycled compost costing £2 per 50 litre bag from Bexley's two re-use and recycle centres in Maidstone Road, Foots Cray, and Thames Road, Crayford.

Compost bins are also available to buy at a subsidised rate.
