Heol Johnson, Talbot Green
This land is owned by Rhondda Cynon Taff but on long term lease to the Community Council. The area was overgrown and infested with knotweed when first taken over early 2000’s. The Community Council have restored it and maintain it as a grassed area with a copper beach hedge and trees.
Mount Pleasant Gardens, Beddau
This piece of land was originally derelict and was reclaimed by the Community Council over 20 years ago. There is a special centrepiece, made up of a mosaic and innovative stainless steel seat which the pupils of Bryn Celynnog created via an E3+ project with the support of Motor Mango Co. If you sit on the seat, with your back to the road, anything you say, sing or shout will be echoed by the surrounding flower bed. The bees and other insects which can be found on the wild flowers feature in the mosaic and on the seat entitled “Rhythm of Life”. An additional element of the project, a stunning name board, designed by Turnip Starfish Ltd and once again created by pupils at Bryn Celynnog for the garden, has recently been refurbished and reinstated on the flowerbed walls.
