Make your own Father’s Day gift
Dad’s are being urged to get creative for Father’s Day and reward themselves with a garden planter.
The council’s White to Green Goods scheme, Gwyn I Wyrdd and The Crefft Pren project along with The National Botanic Garden of Wales (NBGW) have teamed up to offer fathers a chance to make their own garden planter out of recycled washing machine drums.
The workshops will be held on Friday, June 15th, two days before Father’s Day on the 17th. Drums, timber cladding, bolts will be supplied by Gwyn I Wyrdd to construct the planters. The NBGW will also source the compost and the plants. Full instruction will be delivered by qualified and experienced project officers.
Booking is advisable due to limited spaces on 01558 667150. Session costs £90 and includes entry to the gardens, all equipment and materials. Activity to run 11am until 2pm.
Family members can also take part in the session and use the planter as a surprise Father’s Day gift, alternatively they can purchase a space for their loved one on the workshop as a gift.
The council’s executive board member for social care, Cllr Jane Tremlett said: “This is a great idea and makes a very useful gift for Father’s Day. The workshop not only provides an opportunity to bring out people’s creative side and a chance to take what they have made home, it makes good use of old or unwanted goods or furniture.”

Creu anrheg i’r ardd ar gyfer Sul y Tadau
Caiff tadau eu hannog i fod yn greadigol ar Sul y Tadau ac i greu bocs dal blodau i’w hunain.
Mae cynllun Gwyn i Wyrdd y Cyngor Sir, prosiect Crefft Pren a Gardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru oll wedi dod ynghyd i gynnig cyfle i dadau greu bocs dal blodau i’w hunain mas o ddrwm peiriant golchi dillad.
Cynhelir y gweithdy ar ddydd Gwener, 15 Mehefin, deuddydd cyn Sul y Tadau ar 17 Mehefin. Bydd drymiau, bolltau a styllod pren yn cael eu cyflenwi gan Gwyn i Wyrdd er mwyn creu’r bocsys dal blodau. Bydd yr Ardd Fotaneg yn darparu’r compost a’r planhigion. Rhoddir cyfarwyddyd llawn gan swyddogion prosiect cymwys a phrofiadol.
Awgrymir eich bod yn archebu lle – 01558 667150 – oherwydd y cyntaf i’r felin fydd hi. £90 yw pris y sesiwn ac mae’n cynnwys mynediad i’r gerddi, yr holl offer a’r deunyddiau. Cynhelir y gweithgaredd rhwng 11am a 2pm.
Mae croeso i aelodau’r teulu hefyd gymryd rhan yn y sesiwn a defnyddio’r bocs dal blodau fel anrheg Sul y Tadau neu fe allant brynu lle ar y gweithdy fel anrheg i’w perthynas.
Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Jane Tremlett, sef yr Aelod o’r Bwrdd Gweithredol dros Ofal Cymdeithasol: “Dyma syniad gwych a fyddai’n anrheg ddefnyddiol iawn ar gyfer Sul y Tadau. Mae’r gweithdy nid yn unig yn cynnig cyfle i bobl fod yn greadigol ac i fynd adre â’r hyn maen nhw wedi’i greu, ond hefyd mae’n ddefnydd da o nwyddau neu ddodrefn diangen.”
