Coeden Fach Community Tree Nursery is a Community Interest Company based in Clyne Gardens, growing native trees from locally gathered seeds, using organic, peat free methods. We then nurture and grow young trees for sale. But we’re more than just growing trees, we’re about helping individuals and groups thrive and develop new skills.
Trees
We gather and sow seeds, nurture and grow young trees until they are ready to be sold as bare root trees for hedging and woodland/community planting. We also graft our own fruit trees to be sold in pots throughout the year or as bare root in winter. And we also grow fruit bushes, some herbs and various other plants all on our beautifully located nursery in Clyne Gardes, overlooking Swansea Bay.
People
We also work to nurture and grow confidence and skills in people from all walks of life through volunteering. Coeden Fach is a great place to volunteer and learn new skills and volunteers are always welcome to help grow our trees and develop the biodiversity of the site. We also work with a diverse number of school and community groups who visit our site for therapeutic outdoor sessions based around all aspects of growing and planting trees.
Learning new skills is an important part of our ethos , and we run training courses on a range of subjects such as fruit tree grafting and orchard pruning.
Information on our tree sales are available here.
Our site at Clyne Gardens
This lovely site is an exciting venture for us and will enable us to have close links with Swansea, enabling increased access for our volunteers. It enables us to diversify and grow a wider selection of trees in order to supply more trees in both the rural and urban areas of Swansea and further afield. We are supporting biodiversity on the site by installing bat and bird boxes, habitat piles and have planted 54 metres of new edible wildlife hedge along the boundary as well as a small orchard and area of wild flower turf.
Clyne is a fantastic site for volunteering so if you would like to get involved please contact Kate, Nursery Coordinator on 07831923244 or email us on coedenfach.info@gmail.com. You can also keep up to date with our activities by following “Coeden Fach Kate” on Facebook.
Volunteering times
We are open for volunteering on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30am to 1:30pm at our site at the top of Clyne Gardens. Contact Kate on 07831923244 for more details. Don’t be shy we are a very friendly and welcoming group and the nursery is a great thing to be a part of.
