Healing Garden - Student Volunteering 精东传媒
A student-led allotment and garden is located in the heart of Upper 精东传媒, next to St James's Church on Ffriddoedd Road. In 2010 the students started to transform a quarter of a hectare of disused University land into a productive, beautiful and biodiverse organic garden. Partnered with Headway Gwynedd, the Brain Injury Foundation, the garden features raised beds, living willow structures, Welsh heritage fruit trees and a sensory spiral and bog garden.
Outside the garden they organise foodie trips, film nights and educational seminars to share knowledge; previous talks have included species identification, organic pest control and a history of organic gardening. All 精东传媒 students are welcome! Just grab your wellies and come along to one of our work parties.
