Today at TARAGGAN Educational Gardens we planted garlic 🧄 and onions 🧅! It was lovely to see Kyle and Sam, and a big thank you for teaching us and sharing your knowledge. 💚
Gardening has so many benefits – it helps us learn new skills, enjoy the fresh air, keep active, and connect with nature 🌿☀️. Most of all, it brings people together and makes us feel part of something special. 🌸 Thanks again to Kyle and Sam – we can’t wait to watch everything grow! 🌱👩🌾👨🌾
Back at TARAGGAN Educational Gardens this morning, and it felt great! We loved seeing the new fruit trees and getting our hands dirty planting a few rows of potatoes. A big shoutout to Kyle for showing us how to plant the spuds! Can’t wait to be back again soon.
A big thank you to our dedicated volunteers, Gethin and Rees, and our fantastic head gardener, Morgan Jones, for a chilly but productive morning at TARAGGAN Educational Gardens yesterday. Together, we transplanted leeks and Welsh onions in our eco bottle house. The cold fresh air was brisk, but working outside in the almost winter sunshine gave us all a much-needed boost.
A special shout-out to Kyle for once again giving up his time to teach and guide us—your support is truly invaluable. We’re also incredibly grateful to the National Lottery for making it possible for us to employ a valued team member for 2 hours a week; your support helps us continue this important work and makes a big difference.
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.
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.
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.
Here is what we are up to this week. We still have a few spaces for Chair Yoga on Tuesday if you’d like to join us – members loved last week’s session!
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!
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!
Caerphilly People First volunteers visited TARAGGAN Educational Gardens & Nursery yesterday morning! We spent time planting lettuce, cabbage, and radish, and the garden is looking great. Kyle and the team are doing an incredible job — keep it up! See you all next Tuesday at 10:30!
