Welcome to the 2022 programme of Workshops and Events at Nant-y-Bedd Garden. Once again a mixture of days led by Sue and by old favourites (Liz, Ruth and Carina) plus some wonderful ‘new faces’ in Mick, Jacky and Gary. There really is something for everybody who has an interest in gardening, food, wildlife and well-being.
