Residents Transform Disused Land into Wildflower Garden

North Wales Housing residents in Ffordd Eithinog and Lon Mieri in Bangor have transformed a disused piece of land into a wildflowers and a meadow garden.

There was overwhelming support for the project when residents were asked what they would like to see on this land.

Ann Williams, Wildlife Gardening Project Leader for North Wales Wildlife Trust led an information session for residents to learn more about the project and wildlife as a whole.

Residents took part in the planting of the wild flowers along with NWH staff, Wildlife Gardening Project Leader, and North Wales Wildlife Trust volunteers.

Emma Briscoe, Assistant Housing Officer at North Wales Housing said:

I am so happy that we have been able to involve Anna at the NW Wildlife Trust in planting a wildflower meadow with our tenants at Eithinog, I have had my eye on this piece of land for some time in the hope that we could do something along these lines.”

It will bring a much needed habitat for bees and insects and have a positive impact on the environment and for the community as a whole. We are hoping that the local school will also be able to use the land for their wildlife projects.”

Iwan Evans, Tenant Participation Co-ordinator, North Wales Housing added:

It has been a successful project and brought about increased engagement with some of the residents.”
