Prince's Trust help Mentro Lluest

Mentro Lluest has had some much needed help from the Prince's Trust this month. As a part of their Team programme, participants have recoved a large polytunnel and creating a shrub bed at the entrance to Mentro Lluest’s sensory garden which is being developed by our volunteers.

Calling all gardeners

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 07:06:31 -0700

Despite losing a number of members of staff following the end of European funding, Mentro Lluest is as busy as ever and the range of work and produce is bigger than ever.
Our army of volunteers have worked tirelessly over the last six months, not only maintaining the site as it has previously been run, but also trying new ideas and expanding the range of plants and vegetables.
But we need more help. If you or anyone you know has an interest in gardening and could spare a few hours a few or a fortnight, Mentro Lluest would love to here from you.

The range of jobs is vast, so whatever your interest, there is sure to be something to interest you, from organic vegetables, permaculture and beneficial plants to bedding, succulents, perennials and shrubs - come and have a look.

If you think you may be able to help, call in and speak to Chris, or phone us on 01970 612114.
