Category: Community Garden
The main community garden is situated behind the Public Institute on Llanfyllin High Street, with satellite sites at Y Dolydd and in Brook Street. The garden is focused on teaching volunteers and the wider community skills in growing food in line with permaculture principles, as well as building community out in the open air with our hands in the soil.
Volunteers meet everything Tuesday (between 2pm and 4pm) and Saturday (between 11am and 1pm) to make compost, mulch the beds, plant out new fruit and vegetables, tidy up and harvest the produce. Please do come along to say hello and have a cup of tea â and lend a hand if you’d like!
