Bloomfield Challenge

The Bloomfield After School Club has been busy making prints and painting fruit and vegetables. Some of the fruit and vegetables grown at the centre have been used to show people the process of how they decompose and can be recycled or used for compost.

Coming up in the next few months, Transition Narberth will come onsite again to plant more fruit and nut trees. Apples already growing onsite will also be available to the community for free in the autumn so do come along for your fresh fruit fix!

Talks have taken place with a number of companies regarding an environmentally friendly building to replace the current air dome.
