tyddynmon.co.uk Keep Wales Tidy Funding We recently received vouchers from Keep Wales Tidy as part of an initiative they are running along with the Welsh Assembly Government called Natural Buzz, it’s aim is to create wild-flower heavens and to create new habitats and food sources for pollinators in Wales. The incentive has allowed us to buy pollinating plants, trees and shrubs which encourage and nurture bees, butterflies and other wildlife. Rowan, our gardening training officer and 9 of the trainees bought the plants and replanted the area outside the cafe, which we hope people will be able to enjoy whilst at the same time encouraging a range of wildlife to the area. I enjoyed going and buying the plants and seeing them planted, but I like to water and tend the plants, mainly seeing them bloom. Barry Roberts It was a good experience, I like digging the holes and think the area looks ‘spot on’ Robert Carter I like to plant the flowers and watch them grow. Talwrn Williams I enjoyed putting the flowers into the pots, I also like it when we have visitors who see and say how nice the farm looks and how nice the plants are. Julie Ramsden I’m looking forward to seeing the plants established, hopefully encouraging bees into the garden to improve the diversity.
