Hello everyone, I am Celia and I’m here to tell you about the Garden Share Scheme that will be launched at the Food Feast. It will be the 1st of its kind in North Wales and for those of you that don’t know, Garden Share Scheme's are about bringing together the community through growing food produce.

There are many people in Conwy who have underused gardens or gardens that go unmanaged due to a lack of time, interest, or physical mobility. By the same token there are people who have no access to a garden, and who would love the chance to grow their own vegetables.

So the scheme is set up to help people who want to grow their own food but have no where to do it and linking them to people who have garden space that is underused. The benefits for the garden owner include having a share of fresh vegetable or fruit produce, they get to see their garden flourish and develop again and they have a greater sense of community.

I will have a stall set up on the Quay at the Feast, so please come and see me to find out more about the scheme.
