The Common. Flowers and grasses left to grow long on the meadow area, giving nature space to do what it does best.

Lots of people in Dinas pick up litter. If you want to get involved pop along to the Library Plant sale and Fun Day to chat with Elin from Keep Wales Tidy. Either borrow kit from the new Hub at the Library or become a champion and be given kit. Pop along to chat over options.

We have sown our pollinator friendly mix at Brookside. Many thanks to Barry, Helen, Hilary and Clare for their hard work. We were hoping it was just going to be a matter of sprinkling seeds but there were quite a lot of weeds to remove first.
