Successful bid to create traditional garden at Abergavenny Museum

I’m pleased to report that Abergavenny Transition Town has successfully obtained funding for creating a traditional garden in the grounds of Abergavenny Museum. We have  obtained the following funds:

– £150 garden vouchers from Keep Wales Tidy to kick things off and create pollinator friendly wildflower garden

– £3k from National Lottery via Kew Garden for a much bigger project between March and October.

As I mentioned in a previous email we are going to kick this off with a weekend of digging, turf stripping, preparing a seed bad and scattering seed (in a gardening sort of way) on the 29 and 30 March. Probable times are 10-4 on Saturday and 12-4 on Sunday although we will confirm these times nearer the date.

When we have this first weekend out of the way (using the £150 garden vouchers from KWT) we will  be planning the bigger project.

If anyone can spare an hour or so on the Saturday or Sunday to help out please let me know. I know there’s other stuff going on that weekend (including Mothers Day) but a condition of the scheme is that we spend the vouchers and complete the project by the end of March.

Thanks
