Our Tiny Veg Growers
The On The Verge team's initiative to inspire and educate the next generation of gardeners through "Our Tiny Veg Growers" program has been a great success story.
This unique gardening club for children has not only created a space for young people to learn the art of organic farming but also fostered a deeper understanding of where our food comes from and the importance of working harmoniously with nature.
Under the expert guidance of the On The Verge team, the young gardeners have gained hands-on experience in planting, caring for, and harvesting crops.
The group meet regularly at 5pm on Thursdays at the Woodlands Community Garden in Talgarth.
