A local allotment society is offering new opportunities to the community after securing funding.
Bodelwyddan Allotment & Gardening Society (BAGS) has announced it has secured funds from two organisations, allowing it to expand its offerings to the community.
The society, founded in 2013 by securing a licence agreement with the Denbighshire Town Council, has seen an increase in demand for allotment plots due to a substantial increase in the benefits of choosing to eat organic foodstuffs.
Over the past two years, BAGS has built strong relationships with local Town Councillors and the local HUB, increasing its interaction with the community.
The society has been working towards providing children from local schools with purpose-built raised gardens, teaching them to grow vegetables and flowers, become familiar with the rearing of chickens, and learn about the importance of our resident honey bees.
It also aims to make gardening accessible to wheelchair users.
Now, with the recent funding, these opportunities are being extended to local community members, who are invited to come and visit our gardens to see what we have in place.
BAGS is also developing a communal sensory garden, where people can meet and socialise with others and have picnics on warm days.
A spokesperson for the society said: "We are excited to announce that we have been successful in securing funding from two separate organisations which has recently enabled us to offer said opportunities to our local community members."
