TARAGGAN Gardens

Our Caerphilly People First volunteers had a fantastic morning at TARAGGAN Educational Gardens & Nursery yesterday, enjoying the crisp air while harvesting radishes. We’re taking the larger ones home to enjoy, and the smaller radishes will be carefully planted in pots and stored in the polytunnel to keep them cosy during the colder months ahead.

Thank you to our volunteers for their hard work in the garden, and thank you, Kyle, for another great visit.

Gardening Group

What a fantastic morning we had at TARAGGAN Educational Gardens & Nursery yesterday. The weather held off just long enough for us to enjoy some outdoor time and plant garlic in pots! There’s something so refreshing about getting your hands dirty and breathing in that fresh air. Did you know? Gardening isn’t just about growing food—it’s great for your mind and body too! It helps reduce stress, boosts your mood, and is an excellent way to stay active. Thanks Kyle and Sam – we will see you next week.

Strimmer Training

Well done to our amazing volunteers Gethin and Morgan for attending the Brushcutters and Trimmers training this week! A big thank you to Richard for delivering the training, and to James for providing the PPE. They had a fantastic time, and Gethin especially enjoyed using the strimmer! Huge thanks to Theresa and Dave for hosting us up at Ynys Hywel Farm.

TARAGGAN Gardens

This week at the TARAGGAN Educational Gardens & Nursery, we have been busy looking after the garden! We planted cabbages and got the beds ready for autumn. Our volunteers worked hard to pull out the weeds and keep the garden healthy.

A big thank you to Kyle for helping the group and supporting us! The garden is a nice, calm place where everyone can enjoy nature, learn new things, and make friends. Thank you to everyone who helped! We are growing something special together!

If you want to join us, let us know. We are always looking for more people to help in the garden!

Gardening at TARAGGAN

What a fantastic morning we had at TARAGGAN Educational Gardens yesterday! Our amazing Caerphilly People First volunteers had a great time weeding, socialising, and enjoying the sunshine. A big thank you to Sam for stepping in while Kyle is away doing his strimmer training – we hope it’s going well! Looking forward to next week already – see you then!

Gardening Group

Yesterday, our volunteers visited TARAGGAN Educational Gardens. The weather turned out to be beautiful, especially compared to the morning. During our time there, we moved plants to the bottle greenhouse, arranged plant pots into sizes and stacked them up, and even had a go at using a wheelbarrow, making the most of the pleasant conditions.

We volunteer every Tuesday morning from 10:30am until 12:00pm. If you would like to get involved, please email enquiries@caerphillypeoplefirst.org
