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!

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

Today Caerphilly People First and TARAGGAN Educational Gardens & Nursery came together to celebrate National Allotment Week! Members got their hands dirty planting radishes and weeding the garden to keep it healthy and productive.

We visited TARAGGAN yesterday morning and had a great time transferring the parsley from the bottle greenhouse to the raised beds in wheelbarrows and replanting it.

Parsley is often used as a garnish, adding a bright green color and fresh flavor to dishes. It enhances the taste of soups, stews, salads, and sauces.

We will be back at TARAGGAN on the 30th of July, so please feel free to join us. Thanks, Kyle, Samantha and Dillon.

Caerphilly People First Volunteers have been working on weeding one of the plots and tidying up at TARAGGAN Educational Gardens. The gardens are looking beautiful, with lots of flowers and fruits making an appearance. We volunteer at TARAGGAN every Tuesday morning at 10:30am. If you want to join us, please feel free to pop along.

This a report by head gardener Morgan Jones on our most recent visit to the allotments:

Earlier this morning me, Christy Taylor, Gethin Chamberlain & Rees Powell went up to TARAGGAN allotments to do a shift on the garden. When we got there, I asked Kyle Richards “What is there for us all to do on the garden today?” He said “there’s weeding that needs to be done, so we’ll do that.” As I’ve done since I was appointed Head Gardener I told both boys what they had to do in order for us all to start gardening. I told Rees to get the trowels and kneeling pads out of shed 1, and between myself and Gethin we got 2 wheelbarrows out of shed 2 to put all the weeds in.

Yesterday our volunteers were at TARAGGAN Educational Gardens & Nursery. Gardening involves physical activities like digging, planting and weeding, which can improve strength and overall fitness. Being outdoors and working in the garden can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression and provides a sense of purpose and accomplishment.

This is a report written by our Head Gardener, Morgan Jones:

When me, Christy, Gethin, Rees, and the twins Chris & Anthony went to TARAGGAN allotments yesterday I could see there was a huge pile of tree bark just inside the gates, which needed scooping up. So all of us, including Kyle Richards & Samantha Sian Price, scooped up the bark and took wheelbarrows full of it to the top end of the allotment. Yet another productive session doing what I love best. Helping out up the gardens, being a Head Gardener.
