“Grow Wild� seed planting On a very warm Tuesday over Easter, we worked with Norma Greene from Cynefin and Jake Castle from Keep Wales Tidy to prepare some ground to plant wild flower seeds which had been donated by Kew Gardens under their Grow Wild project. We were joined by some young children visiting relatives on the estate. They sprinkled compost and water over the seeds which were planted by Alison Chaplin, Community Development Project Officer. Hopefully, some of the wild flowers will be appearing shortly.
Litter Pick Norma and Jake also came out on the Thursday and, with help from Tidy Towns and a couple of residents, we collected 10 bags of rubbish from the Old Flats Site. Six bags went to recycling and four bags were placed with general waste.
D-I-Y Bee House Afterwards we went back to The Fact Shop for refreshments and began assembling our D-I-Y bee houses. Made from cut bamboo canes stuffed into an old cardboard inner from a toilet roll, they are bound together with plastic tape then placed inside an old pop bottle container, before being hung up outside. www.wwha.co.uk | 0800 052 2526 | Twitter: @wwha
