Havergardd
Havergardd is one of seven urban community gardens that Grwp Resilience started in Pembrokeshire since 2022.
Each is unique but all are run by their growers with their own organisation.
The urgency for people to have land to work on is growing. To eat well, to be well and feel sane, to not be alone. Urban land should be given back to people for our resilience.
Nature is a room we need to get back into. Its amazing what is created, what skills people develop, as if they always had them without knowing.
The land around towns should be kept for uses like this. We are working with Social Farms and Gardens to change the planning rules to make it possible.
Community Gardens
Community gardens are a cornerstone of Grwp Resilience’s efforts to strengthen and unite local communities. These gardens provide more than just fresh produce; they serve as a vital space for social interaction, skill-building, and environmental education.
By fostering a sense of ownership and cooperation, community gardens help residents build resilience against economic and social challenges. Participants benefit from reduced stress, improved mental health, and increased physical activity, all while cultivating a deeper connection with nature and their neighbours.
Through these initiatives, Grwp Resilience not only addresses food insecurity but also promotes community cohesion and environmental stewardship, making it a pivotal force in the local area.
