Wouldn’t this be great in Cardiff. Cardiff once housed some of the UK’s most renowned, respected and bountiful orchards, managed by Pettigrew.
Luton Orchards is asking residents to uncover the town's fruit-growing history and map where fruit trees remain today in a citizen science project. They believe only 10% of Luton's historic orchards remain - 15 out of the 150 orchards that once existed https://t.co/tpf11qPw0c

Anyone else can't quite believe that the petition to rescind the new 20mph limit is officially the biggest petition that has ever been submitted to the Senedd? Not the one to reinstate free school meals during school holidays for children living below the poverty line. Not the

Dear councils, Here is an easy way to help restore 30% of nature by 2030. Small verges like this can be lifelines for pollinating insects if you reduce mowing and don't spray with weedkillers. You'll be saving bees and butterflies by saving time & money 🐝 https://t.co/rXujeFQYJ5

We're dusting off pickers and boxes, ready for first harvest tomorrow! ☺️Do you have one of these at home, lying around and not needed? Our team is expanding and we'd be grateful for donation of pickers of any shapes and sizes 🌤️🌳🍏🍎🍐

Save the @SecretGardenCF 'The café raised £5,000 to repair the park & replant trees. During the pandemic the business made 6,000 meals for the NHS & over past 5 years it has raised just under £18,000 for different charities.' https://t.co/qRpiX3qGiM

The council has decided not to renew the The Secret Garden Cafe's lease and will start a procurement process

So gutted for Mel & Dan and all the team @SecretGardenCF - they’ve created a magical place there and done so much for the community 😢

We have been informed that the current tenants/ operators wish to stay & renew their lease but the council have refused to do this & will instead put it out to tender. If you think this is the wrong approach, please write to your local councillors, Huw Thomas & Jo Stevens MP

I can’t think of another business in Cardiff that has done so much for one of the city’s (most valuable) public assets… an ethos and effort like this should be rewarded, not insulted! @cardiffcouncil

Through community engagement we’ve heard how some local residents disapprove of our parks being monetised, what are your thoughts? Hiring out parks to events companies means parks are not always accessible and open to all.
🌳🌳🌳 @Guardian editorial on our parks 👏👏👏 "One of the last areas of truly public space/Councils should not have to depend on commercial revenue to safeguard their future. They are an asset that should be for everyone."
