Community Garden Events

GERDDI Bro Ddyfi Gardens is a community garden in the Plas Estate.

There’s an inclusive drop-in volunteer sessions on Tuesdays from 10.30am-4pm, and Thursdays from 10.30am-2.30pm, and are running garden workshops and events in spring and summer this year.

Gardening for health and well-being:

Have you, or someone you know recently finished work, been bereaved, moved away from family and friends, experienced homelessness or drug/alcohol dependency?

Have you, or they, faced any other challenges which have caused anxiety, isolation, loss of confidence or low mood?

Joining a community garden project really could help!
