We are Junka & Chris and we have recently begun growing at Ynyslas Gardens on the edge of the Dyvi Estuary. We grow using mostly organic seeds and compost, use no naughty chemicals to nurture our plants and do our best to make our produce of the best quality available.
Junka has experience of growing in her native Japan and has travelled extensively to many different projects and communities finding out about different methods of preparing, propagating, planting and nurturing crops.
Chris has been growing things for years and recently spent a year living and working on a Biodynamic farm in Costa Rica growing Pineapples, Bananas, Star fruit and many other fruits, vegetables and salads as well as keeping goats and sheep.
Junka & Chris enjoy the process of supplying fresh and local food to their adopted community and hope that their venture continues to grow and be mutually supportive with others in the surrounding area.

Directions to Ynyslas Gardens
We are situated on the B4353 between Borth and Tre'r Ddol.
From Borth we are 2 miles heading north along the straight road that divides the golf course. Follow the road to the right once in Ynyslas and up over the brow of the hill. To the right you will catch a glimpse of the rainbow peace flag and then the long tall garden walls.
We are four miles or so from Tre'r Ddol (A487), about a quarter of a mile past the railway and river crossing. This time we'll be on the left, unless you're going backwards (which is unadvisable).

The Gardens
Ynyslas Gardens have been worked by many people over the years. The gardens were originally constructed in the 1870s to supply produce to the local railway workers and the railway hotel in Borth.
The largest growing area is currently worked by Joel, supplying produce to a local box scheme and to C.A.T. in Machynlleth.
