This first edition of the online Swansea Growing Spaces green map aims to give people an idea of the wide range of different growing opportunities there are in the area. It includes places you can go for help and inspiration for starting on your own, and projects where you may like to get involved, growing in a community setting with others.
Growing your own plants or fruit and veg means that you get to control the quality of what you eat and, of course, the cost. It has other benefits too - working in a garden involves getting outside and exercising in the fresh air and will be of benefit to the environment, especially if the land was derelict or previously unused.

Swansea Green Fayre

30/11/2017

Thanks to everyone who answered our 'What will life in 2050 in Swansea look like' survey at the Fayre. We had a great time chatting with everyone about their ideas and thoughts for creating a greener future for everyone!
Most people had a really positive outlook with lots of sustainable energy sources, more green spaces and loads of ideas for low carbon, non polluting transport. The Active volcano and being over run by robots however are probably going to create a few more environmental problems than we would hope for :)
