We are lucky to have a fantastic team of volunteers in our Livinggreen Centre and without them we wouldn't be able to keep the exhibition open every day or answer the many questions from our visitors. Recently, however, some of our volunteers have been inspired to recycle creatively and have introduced some new additions to our exhibition.
Julie took an unused pallet from Morden Hall Park and made this beautiful chair. As comfortable to sit on as it is lovely, it really does highlight how easy it can be to transform something unwanted into a lovely piece of furniture.
One of the most popular parts of our exhibition is the wood burning stove, and visitors love having the opportunity to sit by the fire in our recycled cable drum rocking chairs. Adding an extra cosiness to the chairs are some gorgeous knitted rugs, courtesy of our volunteer Eileen. If you're a knitter, you'll know that you end up with bits of leftover yarn and this is a fantastic way of making use of all that wool.

We challenge our readers to get creative with their recycling - we look forward to seeing what you can come up with!
