Community Gardens

Here's a few photos of the Cwm Harry community garden just to show what's possible even starting from a hard packed lorry park. The Cwm Harry site was on an industrial estate in Newtown, Powys, Wales at the back of a unit that had been taken over by a company making compost from food waste.

Early days, a polytunnel and beginnings of a veg bed

Interesting angles in the reciprocating roof

Abundant fruit and veg

What it's all about - a happy harvester

Full bloom
