Incredible Edible Porthmadog held its Gwyl Cynhaeaf/Harvest Festival outside Byw’n Iach recently.

While visitors feasted on Alison Hampton’s vegetable cakes, Teresa Shirres’ soup and a cuppa from Rose Craik, Alison Duncan demonstrated seed cleaning and planting.

Charissa Buhler taught green woodworking with spoons, stools and gypsy flowers, lending her ‘shave horse’ for people to have a go.

Over by the Ecobrick build, Lizzie Wynn ran a competition of ‘How many plastic bottles does it take to build a shed’? Almost 400 bottles have been used so far with a cob mortar using no cement or lime and there is quite some height to go yet. The competition will run for the next four weeks and the last brick will probably be placed sometime in November.

The volunteer group of gardeners and builders proudly celebrated their Green Flag Community Award from Keep Wales Tidy, which is now on display on the wooden shed.

A total of £79 was raised which will go towards garden tools and plants.

The project demonstrates food security in a changing climate in an urban setting.
