Dydd Iau 24 Mehefin am 2.00 yn yr Ardd Gymunedol, Y Plas, Machynlleth
Yn dilyn ein diwrnod agored llwyddianus, hoffem eich gwahodd i’n Cyfarfod Cyffredinol cyntaf, ar ddydd Iau 24 Mehefin am 2.00 y.p. yn yr Ardd Gymunedol, Y Plas, Machynlleth.
Dewch i glywed am yr holl waith sydd wedi’i gwneud gan wahanol grwpiau - ifainc a ddim mor ifainc - ym Mro Ddyfi.
Ewch am dro o gwmpas yr ardd a chlywed am y grantiau rydym wedi derbyn.
Gwerthfawrogwn yn arbennig eich barn: sut dylai’r ardd gymunedol datblygu yn ystod y blwyddyn nesaf? Pa grwpiau eraill gall cymryd rhan, a pa fath o weithgareddau dylai digwydd?
Cewch helpu dewis Pwyllgor newydd hefyd, wrth gwrs - a byddwn yn croesawi gwaed newydd!
Dewch ag unrywun gyda chi sydd â diddordeb.
Pwyllgor y Gerddi.
Thursday 24 June at 2.00pm at the Gardens, Y Plas grounds, Machynlleth
‘Following our successful open day we would like to invite you to our first AGM on Thursday 24th June at 2.00pm at the Gardens, Y Plas grounds, Machynlleth.
Please come and hear about all the work that has been done - with all the different groups, young and not-so-young, in Machynlleth and the surrounding area.
You can have a quick tour of the garden and find out about the grants we have been able to get.
We would especially value your input into how you think the therapeutic community garden should develop in the coming year. What other groups could we get involved and what kind of activities do you think should happen?
Also and perhaps most important you will hear about the funding we are hoping to get for the next year and what this could mean for the potential of the garden and the groups who use it.
And of course you can have your say in electing a new committee - and we would welcome fresh people on board!
Bring anyone you think would be interested.
- the Gerddi committee
Croeso y bawb! All welcome!

The Wildlife Shelter Home
Full of nooks & crannies and hidey-holes, there are plenty of corners for ladybirds and spiders to huddle in through a cold winter, or for woodlice and snails to hide out on hot summer days. Not only that, but as the wood starts to decay, beetle larvae - and other invertebrates - will be able to munch on the rotten wood to gain the nutrients they need. This high-rise accommodation for creepy-crawlies is easy to make from all your unwanted recycled materials so you could create one for your own garden.
This particular home above was built by children at the RSPB Open day- facilitated by Kate Doubleday
