I was away camping over the weekend in West Wales, and spent a lovely couple of hours wandering around this beautiful vegetable garden. Its by far the largest walled garden I've ever come across at just under 6 acres, its owned by the National Trust and leased to Pembrokeshire Mencap who provide work experience and horticulture courses for adults and young people with learning difficulties. They grow veg, plants, and run a small shop, on a fabulous site.
I was chatting to one of the volunteers there yesterday, who told me how much the poor weather we'd had this year had cost them in lost vegetable sales a valuable source of income to them. We purchased a few plants which were incredibly cheap, and some lovely pembrokeshite ice cream, and made a donation.
I just thought I'd draw all you lovely peeps to a project that is very worthwhile supporting if you are ever in the area and well worth a trip if you are not.
