Hi, this is my first attempt at writing a blog so bear with me. I've been working with a group of people from the community of Banwen and the surrounding area to develop the Sarn Helen Community Garden for over two years. The garden project has two sites, one is behind DOVE workshop and is, what I call, a learning garden, it has been designed by learners on a horticulture class and is a lovely area to sit and reflect on life or for the more active amongst us an opportunity to dig in, quite literally. The other site is behind Roman Road and used to be an allotments assocation which we are now turning into a community garden that our community can come to visit, chat, grow vegetables, and generally enjoy ourselves. As I learn how to use this blog more effectively I will be sharing photographs and news and my thoughts on the garden and I hope others involved in the project, volunteers, learners and project staff will add comments, so watch this space!
