Penglais Garden Team
About Us
We are a community of growers located near Aberystwyth Arts Centre.
The Penglais Community Garden is a ‘community garden’, managed by local people for general enjoyment and use. It began as a student initiative, supported by Aberystwyth University.
Our objective is to create a space for people to grow, to learn about growing food, planting in a wildlife friendly manner, and to provide a quiet space for people visiting the university and Arts Centre to just sit and enjoy their lunch!
It is run as something for anyone with an interest in gardening and growing from the Aberystwyth area to get involved with. We produce a bumper harvest each year which is shared between the volunteers.
Activities
Health Education and Well Being
Well Being
At Penglais Community Garden, we recognise the importance of community engagement and believe the garden provides an excellent environment to help sustain well being. We enjoy making a positive impact and invite you to come along.
Food Co op
We are always looking for ways to have a positive impact and help find new strategies for growing community food.
We work in conjunction with the Aber Food Co op, Peoples's Practice and the Aber Food Surplus Project.
Skills Swap
As part of our mission we provide a space for people to come and learn. Why not come along and join us on one of our Community Gardening Days? See UPCOMING EVENTS for details.
“To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul.”
