Pentraeth Community & School Garden
18/06/2012
Local school kids from Pentraeth have turned
an unsightly corner of their school land that once attracted young
people to “hang around” during evenings causing problems into a
community garden the whole village can be proud of.
Several parents, school children and other
members of the community have contributed transforming the once
disused ground into several flower beds and have planted several
shrubs and herbs but they would welcome more. Parent and
Project Manager Suzanne Winfield said “It’s great to see everyone
pulling together but we could always use more help and any unwanted
plants so come on down. The children are also learning a
great deal about gardening and pride in their community”
Local PCSO Iona Beckman of North Wales Police
added “This was an area that once attracted minor anti social
behaviour, it was litter strewn and unattractive. With the
aide of a donation of £173 from PACT (Police and Community Trust)
we were able to buy a number of garden tools and other equipment
and with a little bit of hard work and good fun we’ve been able to
create this lovely garden which will benefit the whole community
and help reduce incidents of ASB”
If anyone would like to donate any plants,
tools or volunteer a few hours in the garden contact
