Library holds party to celebrate garden being refurbished

A PARTY was held to celebrate the garden being tided up at Ystradgynlais Library.

Library staff and members of the Brecknock Wildlife Trust’s wild communities project have worked together over the last 12 months to bring the garden back to life after it became overgrown with weeds.

The team created a wild flower area and used recyclable materials, such as scrapwood, for the vegetable beds. They also created a ‘bug hotel’ to attract insects.

At the end of the project library assistant Jan Mulready and south Powys senior librarian Nic Farr presented Brecknock Wildlife Trust’s wild communities project officer Pauline Hill with a bouquet of flowers to thank her for her input. The garden had deteriorated after Powys council stopped maintaining it as a result of cutbacks.

Brecknock Wild-life Trust’s Wild Communities Project is a Big Lottery-funded project based in the Upper Tawe Valley.
