Our Plot
Our Plot is a self-organising community growing space at The Old School, Crickhowell. A small, friendly and motivated group of local people meet fortnightly to sow, tend and harvest vegetables in a series of raised beds. Together, they plan how to cook, preserve and share their harvests, developing knowledge and skills with each season. At moments when the garden is less demanding, the group organise workshops or plan visits to other local growers and gardens.
Since 2024, Our Plot has formed part of a wider project to reimagine the tarmac former playground and car park surrounding The Old School into an accessible, biodiverse community garden. The practices of the group are helping to shape plans being developed by garden designer Sarah Price, towards a lasting and productive landscape for respite, creative activity and connection with nature.

Gofod garddio cymunedol sy’n cynnal ei hunan yw Ein Darn o Dir, yn gweithio o’r Hen Ysgol, Crug Hywel. Mae grŵp bach, cyfeillgar ac ymrwymedig o bobl leol yn cwrdd bob pythefnos er mwyn hau, tendio a chynhaeafu llysiau o’n gwelyau llysiau. Gyda’i gilydd, eu bwriad yw coginio, cadw a rhannu eu cynaeafau, gan ddatblygu gwybodaeth a sgiliau fesul tymor. Pan nad yw’r llysiau’n mynnu gymaint o sylw, mae’r grŵp yn trefnu gweithdai ac ymweliadau gyda thyfwyr a gerddi lleol eraill.
Ers 2024, mae Ein Darn o Dir wedi ffurfio rhan o broject ehangach er mwyn ailddychmygu’r iard chwarae tarmac a’r maes parcio oedd yn amgylchynu’r Hen Ysgol yn ardd gymunedol hygyrch, bioamrywiol. Mae arferion y grŵp yn ysbrydoliaeth wrth i’r dylunydd gerddi Sarah Price fynd ati i wneud cynlluniau hirdymor i greu tirlun hirhoedlog a chynhyrchiol lle all bobl ymlacio, cynnal gweithgarwch creadigol a chysylltu â natur.
