Yesterday Ffion and Gethin rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into weeding, helping to keep the gardens looking beautiful for everyone to enjoy. 💪🌱
It was a gorgeous day, but the heat certainly made it hard work! 🌞🥵 Thankfully, there were plenty of water breaks and lots of smiles along the way. A big thank you to our amazing volunteers for all their hard work and dedication. Every little bit helps the gardens continue to bloom! 🌸💚
After a busy morning yesterday, we enjoyed a lovely free visit to Fferm Gelli Farm. 💚 Christopher, Anthony, Gethin and Amy had a brilliant time feeding the goats, llamas, ponies and horses. 🐐🦙🐴 Gethin is definitely a horse whisperer – the horses absolutely loved him and were so calm around him! 🐴❤️
Ellie enjoyed sitting by the pond with a fresh salad and sweet strawberries. 🍓🥗🌿 She also loved taking a peaceful walk around the pond, enjoying the beautiful scenery. The facilities at the pond have improved massively, and we saw a few fish jumping and beautiful geese with their babies. 🐟 It was also the first time we had ever seen a foal feeding from its mum. What a special treat and such a lovely moment to witness! 🐴💕
The café by the pond was a real treat! They serve delicious jam and cream scones, amazing coffee, toasties and freshly made baguettes. ☕🥪 The boys especially loved the tuna mayo and sweetcorn baguettes! 😋 We finished the afternoon with a peaceful walk around the pond, enjoying the sunshine, fresh air and great company. Thank you, Fferm Gelli Farm, for such a wonderful visit! 💙😊
Today we visited TARAGGAN Educational Gardens and what a beautiful day it was! The sunshine really lifted everyone’s spirits 🌞😊 Our members worked incredibly hard, getting stuck into weeding one of the garden plots 🌱💪 It’s amazing to see the teamwork and dedication – everyone played their part and made a real difference 👏
