Excerpt:
Once overgrown and out of use, the plot has been brought back into use by the local allotment society in partnership with two Cancer support charities, Maggies and Ray of Light Cancer Support Wales.
“We created a pond during lockdown,” explained allotment site representative Phil Graham.
“Maggies got in touch about the possibility of a walking group that they run taking a break by the pond. That’s where it all started.
“When a plot became available, we thought it would be good if they could do a bit more. The idea was that we could create a community garden, a space where they could do a bit of wellbeing, some crafts, as well as some growing. Somewhere people could reflect and just chill out.”
Armed with the backing of Cardiff Council and the knowledge that grants were available from Keep Wales Tidy for community projects, the allotment association got in touch with Maggies again,
At this point, Ray of Light Cancer Support were also approached to see if they were interested in the project and with both charities on board, a £6,000 grant application was submitted and approved.
The funding from Keep Wales Tidy meant that raised planters could be installed, alongside a new shed and a poly tunnel. New fruit trees were also planted, but before that could happen, there was a lot of work to do.
