Radyr Baptists launch new youth community project

The New Horizons allotment got going on Monday. Forest Farm conservationists joined volunteers from Radyr Baptist Church to plant 80 mixed trees donated by Western Power and Forest Farm and to construct a perimeter fence.

The allotment is a first stage of the Vine project and involves creating an eco-system for local bio-diversity – come along to the Festival Eco-Fun day to find out how we all get on. There may even be some early produce from the scheme at the EcoFun Farmers Market.

The layout of the allotment is being designed by children at Playchurch as part of their eco-congregation curriculum. The landscaping, with guidance and resources from Dean at .4 seasons, will be achieved through a young people’s ground force involving RTC, Radyr Comprehensive’s Green Flag group and the Radyr and Morganstown Association’s young leaders in the community programme. If you want to give some time in the great outdoors then contact Lewis at greenflag@radyr.cardiff.sch.uk to get involved.

Stage two of the project begins in September with some therapeutic learning hours for students with supportive education needs or not in education, employment or training, and we also hope to offer a course in gardening with the adult education centre.
