Carmarthenshire youth clubs transform garden
Three Carmarthenshire youth clubs have combined forces to give a community garden a much needed face-lift.
Young people from Carmarthenshire, Llansteffan and Abergwilli youth clubs have transformed an overgrown community garden at the rear of the Memorial Hall, Llansteffan into a safe and useable space.
The project was made possible through funding from the GwirVol Youth Volunteering Awards, which allowed the groups to purchase the talents of three artists from Arts Care Gofal to help with landscape design, willow work, ceramics and mural art.
Carmarthenshire County Council’s Youth Service and the MOBI Project have been working in the area since September 2009 giving young people the chance to participate in fun and informal educational activities.
Cath Wilson, Youth Project Worker, said: “The young people worked extremely hard, giving up their time during the summer holidays to complete the garden.”
“Despite poor weather conditions the young people showed enthusiasm and commitment to the gardening project.”
“The garden will provide these young people with a long term project, where their ideas can be freely explored. There is further scope for the whole community to get involved.”
