Melanie is new to the garden team but you may well recognise her as she worked in the caffi over the summer.

Originally from Normandy in France she came to the area almost 20 years ago to learn languages and to travel. Since then she has been running her own restaurant but decided that it was time for a new challenge.

Melanie is our current trainee on the WRAGS scheme, working two days a week with us. She is always bright, cheerful and enthusiastic at work. She is excited for the year ahead and is hoping to help us grow more fresh produce for use in the caffi.

The Ymddiriedolaeth Clough Williams-Ellis Foundation has engaged a local website designer, WiSS, to create a new website.

The website has been created with input from the Trustees, Managing Agents and Employees to provide information, not only about Plas Brondanw Gardens and Café and Oriel Brondanw, but also providing information on the charitable foundation, the Brondanw Estate and the local area.

Thank you to Sonja Woods for all your hard work and perseverance to enable the launch of the website.

We hope you find the new website interesting and informative. Please do keep checking the news section and social media for updates about the Foundation.
