Our Sensory Garden

Our allotment was in the customer vote for a Bags of Help grant from Tesco to develop a sensory garden, we received a £1000 grant in February 2019. The pictures show that the allotment volunteers and the funds have provided excellent value for money with wonderful resources for allotment members and the community.

The polytunnel was from a grant received through Ffos Y Fran run by Merthyr Council and is a resource available to any interested schools with support and advice from enthusiastic allotmenteers.

The memorial garden was built with help from funds raised by Tonyrefail Community School.

The area has something for everyone from quiet seated areas to musical instruments and wind chines surrounded by scented flowers and herbs.

Don't forget the gates are open from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. from April to October and every Saturday throughout the year. Everyone is welcome.
