Pill Unity Allotments

The Pill Unity Group, along with partners and other organisations, have now opened the beautiful gardens on Portland Street, Newport.  Whilst many organisaions contributed, it was the effort, determination and dedication of a few key individuals that saw this project come to fruition.  It is a masterpiece of true collaboration.   

The space is surrounded by fruit trees, has a sensory garden, bug houses, communal growing spaces, a mud kitchen, entertainment and education space.

There are opportunities to become a volunteer and contribute to the maintenance of the allotment together with a chance to nurture the growth of produce and young minds.

What do the partners say:

This is what collaboration can achieve. I had the opportunity to get my hands dirty, albeit with a small involvement on this community space. The real heroes are those who have put their blood sweat and tears into pretty much delivering this, from a vision to completion.

‘This wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and time given by Julie Fish, Michael Parry-Jones from Newport City Homes, LCB Construction, Newport City Council together with Mens Shed, Linc Cymru Housing Association and others. They have worked tirelessly to convert an underused and overgrown allotment site into the amazing and vibrant community space called Pill Unity Gardens’.
