Mach Maethlon

THE Edible Mach Wednesday volunteer sessions continued on 24 April (2pm to 4pm) when, meeting at the group’s edible picnic table outside Y Plas building, volunteers moved on to keep the Edible Mach sites looking fantastic and full of lovely vegetables, herbs and fruit.

These sessions last two hours, but there’s no commitment to stay until the end.

All welcome from experienced gardeners to complete newbies. Children too, if accompanied by an adult.

Edible Mach Maethlon has received £266.52 from Co-op, the first of two payments they are donating this year as one of their Local Causes.

A big thank you to Co-op for their generosity and support.
