Coeden Fach Tree Nursery

We opened our gates today for an open day as part of the Clyne in Bloom celebrations.
23 people came to meet us eat cake drink tea and I gave lots of tours showing people our site.
A big thank you to Tracey Hinton and Richard Evans who helped out.

We had a lovely afternoon at Murton Mayday Event.
We spoke to lots of new people and supporters of Coeden Fach Community Tree Nursery.
Watching the Maypole celebrations was fun.
Glad we had a gazebo as there were a few showers!

The open sided shelter extension at our site is going up fast.
Big thanks to Local Places For Nature for the funding.
And Scott Blytt Jordens, our builder!
We also had lots of volunteers, filming,visitors and customers at the site.
And some trees were planted!

We welcomed another volunteering group from EE today at the Tree Nursery.
Fair play, they worked really hard preparing the ground and planting Field Maple and Dog Rose.
Diolch everyone!

We've still got native hedgerow plants and trees available at Coeden Fach Community Tree Nursery.
Also some large (over 2m) Bird Cherry, Wild Cherry, Alder, Birch and Small Leaved Lime.

A good evening at Gardener's Question Time event run by Mumbles Community Council on Saturday. My fellow panellists Teifion,Peter and I answered numerous questions about trees,orchards,vegetables and wildlife gardening.

Work has started on our open sided extension to our shelter! Under the expert guidance of Scott Blytt Jordens volunteers measured and dug holes for the supports.
A big thank for to Council Local Places For Nature for funding this project.

Check out frogs spawn in our new pond!
So good to see how quickly the pond is attracting wildlife.
A big thank you to Local Places For Nature Funding which enabled Coeden Fach volunteers to line the pond and construct the dipping platform.

15 lovely EE employees (EE ) surprised us when they arrived at our site on Tuesday. Their organised volunteer day at a Care Home had been cancelled at the last minute and they found Coeden Fach Community Tree Nursery.

We never refuse offers of help so they got stuck in, mulching our saplings with bark chip and weeding.
What a hardworking group!

Thanks Dafydd Richards who came to inspect and clean out our bird boxes.We are all very appreciative.

He also installed another 3!
All had been occupied.

I always find it amusing that the bluetits nest in the sparrow boxes.And sparrows nest in the blue tit boxes.And the robins just use the empty plant pots.
