RESIDENTS learned to cultivate their own little patches of heaven at a recycling event.
Beekeeping and composting were just some of the skills families and friends learned at the free event in Dorset Road Allotments, Elmers End.
As well as workshops to help raise awareness of the benefits of composting at home, younger visitors enjoyed a bouncy castle and classes in making recycled paper plant pots.
The event was held by the London Community Recycling Network, in partnership with Bromley Council.
Alastair Baillie, the council's environment development manager, said: "Composting is a great way to dispose of your grass cuttings, tea bags and vegetable peelings. It reduces the need to buy compost and can be used to help grow your garden naturally."
