We handed in our notice to Lynne & Peter on October 1st and will be finished at the gardens by the end of the year.
We will be focusing our growing efforts on the new Borth Community Gardens which will begin early next year.
It's been great being here and it was a difficult decision to stop working here. We found growing for the market took too much time and became monotonous, taking away from our enjoyment of growing our own food for our own consumption. Having said that, growing for the local shops and restaurants was enjoyable in many ways, especially knowing that friends, neighboors and holiday-makers are enjoying good, local, fresh produce.

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.
