Alot of local volunteers have been celebrating with mid Wales charity Cwm Harry Land Trust having created an abundant organic
garden on a disused piece of derelict land on a light industrial
estate. This has all been created with next to no funding and using compost made from waste food collected from businesses across Wales!
The vast majority
of the project was designed and built voluntary labour. The garden was designed by a group of permaculture
students studying a
Permaculture Design Course with Shropshire social enterprise Sector39.
The aim was about trying to demonstrate that permaculture
principles will
work anywhere and can create abundance in the most unlikely of
situations.
In our first year they used 1,300 hours of donated labour to develop the garden, which now also hosts 20 micro-allotments plots, managed by local care groups, apprentice gardeners and gardening enthusiasts.
Its open to the public 10.00 to 4.00 pm every Wednesday,
Cwm Harry Land Trust Vastre Estate,
Newtown, Powys, SY16 1DZ. So get yourselves down there some time!
