Penparcau Planting Project is hoping to give nature a boost with exciting plans to enable Penparcau residents to grow their own food, however small a space they may have, and with the help of Penparcau Community Forum.
Space has been created to grow different vegetables and fruit and herb seedlings have been distributed out to the local community. Volunteers for the Penparcau Community Forum have been working on a food growing area, featuring native fruit trees, raised beds, a greenhouse, fruiting shrubs and pot plants.
We hope many people will become involved and we can make this into a sustainable community food growing project. We plan to regenerate seeds so we can organise seed swops/exchanges each year.
Conversations officer for Penparcau Community Forum Clare Jackson said: “We believe everyone should have easy and affordable access to fruit, vegetables and herbs which is the mission of the Penparcau Planting Project.
“We aim to help each family in Penparcau grow, even if it’s just one item, and use this as a platform to continue to grow, regenerate seeds and then seed exchange and swap.
Penparcau Planting Project feels so grateful to the volunteers who are helping transform the Hub and Bee Garden
What a hugely successful day of seed share today with over 40 residents taking home four packs of seeds each ranging from a range of vegetables and herbs.
