One Metre Matters Around the Irfon
10 June 2024
Our One Metre Matters Community around the Irfon
Our friends from One Metre Matters around the Irfon have been using their RHS grant to purchase 2 polytunnels in order to start growing shared community flowers and vegetables in Llangammarch and Llanwrtyd.
On Tuesday 28th May 2024 they held a "Family Nature Day" in the Pavilion on the Dolwen Field. Pauline Hill from the South and West Wales Wildlife Trust came along and helped the children build little bug hotels to take home. She then gave a talk to the adults on "Gardening for Wildlife". The children also made their own pots from newspaper and planted them up with beans from the Wales seed hub. They made mini greenhouses from zip bags and planted cress in egg boxes. The weather was awful, so we couldn't do a bug hunt on the field, but nevertheless, it was well-supported with over 20 mums, dads and children.
