John and Ann started up their project; Einion’s Garden, about 12 years ago in response to the convergence of challenges created by climate change, peak oil, and economic downturns. The garden is in a corner of a boggy field, where they use permaculture thinking to resolve to some of the site’s specific difficulties. They are committed to growing healthy, fresh food for the local market and community and seek to do so by creating a balanced ecosystem that functions without the need for artificial fertilisers or poisons. They have regular volunteering sessions every Friday 10am onwards where all are welcome, no experience necessary, hot drinks and biscuits provided.
