NO! Pumpkins at The Square!
This year WE WILL NOT be collecting pumpkins for the wildlife of The Square
Please DO NOT leave any pumpkins at our Community Garden.
Please DO NOT leave any pumpkins on the ground around The Square (or anywhere else in Penarth, public or private) - they are poisonous to hedgehogs!!!
DISPOSING OF YOUR PUMPKIN

If uncarved and undecorated - why not eat (food grade only), or find a local farm or animal sanctuary that may take them for feed.
-
If carved but undecorated, or decorated with natural, non-toxic materials - Put into your own compost.

If decorated with non-edible materials (e.g. glitter, marker pen etc.) place in your VoG Council food waste bin.
