Mentro Lluest held a Christmas Fair on Saturday December the 8th to raise funds and raise the charity's profile within the community.

Rain holds off for Mentro Lluest Open Day

Mentro Lluest held its annual Open Day on Saturday 12th May. Despite torrential rain in the week leading up to the 12th, on the day we were very lucky with only a few light showers.
Bedding plants, hanging baskets, organic vegetable plants, hanging baskets, carniverous plants and containers all sold like hot-cakes.
Students were present to answer peoples questions and take part in practical displays like container planting.
A photographer from the BBC was on hand and has created a wonderful slideshow of the day which can be seen at the BBC's mid Wales site.

In our Nursery department students and staff are busy propagating, pricking out, and nurturing the plants ready for springtime, ensuring that there are plenty of good quality bedding plants and annuals ready in time for the height of the buying season.

For those who are looking for something a bit different, we also have a range of succulents and carnivorous plants which are always popular, especially with children of all ages.

In addition to this the organic box scheme, which was established in 2004, is set to return in the spring.
