Seeds of change
Inside Housing: 12 May 2006
Homelessness organisation Solas Cymru has teamed up with Usk College to offer a new gardening scheme designed to help homeless people build self-esteem and learn the benefits of exercise and healthy eating.
Twelve students have been allocated half an acre of land by the college to tend and harvest organic vegetables and herbs. Tutors from the college provide the students with help and advice.
All the produce is used by Solas' day centre which provides food for homeless people.
