Mrs Johnes's Garden, 2009

The Garden was the focus of the Hafod Partnership's major project for 2009.

Forestry Commission Wales provided a considerable amount of capital funding and management costs for the first stage: namely, the removal of conifers from the garden, the diversion of the forest road to a new route outside the garden wall, and making good the ground where the road previously ran.

This stage is now complete and, additionally, tree stumps have been removed and new topsoil laid. The success of this scheme can be seen from the photo.
