BRACE volunteers are looking forward to a busy planting season after being awarded a food growing planting kit.
The sizeable collection of plants and materials includes 200 native bulbs, 29 flowering and fruiting shrubs, raised beds, vegetable plugs, wildflower seeds, five native fruit trees, raised beds and a compost bin.
BRACE is one of the first organisations in the country to benefit from this year’s Local Places for Nature scheme, organised by Keep Wales Tidy with funding from the Welsh Government.
Plantings will be made not only at the Community Garden behind the Public Institute and at the Workhouse but also at other locations.
The 40sqm of wildflower turf included in the package is being donated to the wildflower planting scheme underway at St Myllin’s Church this autumn.
