To help residents transform their gardens into a colourful utopia for the summer, Three Rivers District Council is giving out free bags of compost.

Nutrient rich soil made up from the green waste collected from homes each week will be handed out at The Aquadrome, in Frogmoor Lane, Rickmansworth on Wednesday May 11.

The offer will run between 8.30am and 3.30pm on a first come first served basis, and is limited to two bags each.
