Transformation of disused areas adjacent to the Laundry building will see the creation of a sensory garden filled with tactile and aromatic herbs and plants, along with a garden of tranquillity providing a quiet area for reflection and contemplation.
An area for raised bedding will ensure wheelchair users can also access the enormous benefits gardening can bring.
While the gardens will primarily be utilised by local community groups, it will be open to the public on select dates throughout the week.
Woodland Routes to Wellbeing
Woodland Routes to Wellbeing is a collaborative project between the National Trust, Growing Space, the Duffryn Community Link and Keep Wales Tidy to develop sustainable, community-managed woodland and green spaces within the Duffryn estate.
Funded through the BIG Lottery Create your Space programme, the project aims to provide a means of enhancing the social, physical and mental wellbeing of those families and individuals residing in and around Duffryn.
We are thrilled our community allotment and gardens will be a part of this wider project and we look forward to working our partners over the coming years to see our aspirations become a reality.
