Our intergenerational home and gardens
Retrofitting, renewable energy, local food and permaculture gardens.

In January 2020 I instagrammed this image with the resolve to use permaculture principles to grow our garden. At that time I didn’t know Poppy from Global Gardens would be brining the Permaculture Design Course to Cardiff with Sarah Pugh from Shift Bristol. It’s amazing the way life unfolds.

Share Community Directory
The places we live are alive with community focused groups and sustainability conscious, environmentally aware activities. There are so many good things to get involved with. Local people are coming together and it’s making our places vibrant.
We are keen on building community, so we think having an online directory where people can find out what’s happening locally is a great idea.
We are just getting started. If you can help us build the directory, get in touch.
