Hannah said, “It was fantastic to finally get the chance to visit Mostyn Kitchen Garden and see for myself both what they do in the community and what they produce. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Debbie and Philip and all involved are to be applauded for their excellent work that offers opportunity and sustainability.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Debbie said, “It is great to be supported by Hannah and it was really lovely to have her visit! ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Hannah shares our interest in the local community, which is paramount to what we do so it was fantastic to show her our work.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The Mostyn Kitchen garden, which has been operating since 2011, is located in the 18 th century grounds of Mostyn Hall. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The Mostyn Kitchen garden has been transformed by husband and wife team Debbie and Philip and is run as a social enterprise, meaning the fruit and vegetables grown there benefit local families! ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Members of the local community can gain valuable skills and experience by getting involved with the project. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

School children, local businesses and many other groups have been volunteering at the gardens. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The garden is also a haven for wildlife, ex-battery hens are able to wander freely round the grounds whilst the gardens own bee hive adds to the biodiversity. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Whilst, the produce from the garden is also made into a range of jams, chutneys, pickles and sauces which are produced in small batches in the Garden’s own kitchen and stocked in a number of local shops! ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
