A warm welcome to Gemma Edwards, the new Education Officer at Parc Yr Esgob, who joined us this September as part of our Walled Garden Restoration Project.

Gemma is an experienced Foundation Phase teacher, with a passion for outdoor learning – and lots of ideas! We are delighted to share the news that Gemma also works for our partner CofGar as Schools Heritage Officer, so she is perfectly placed to co-ordinate visits to both Parc yr Esgob and Carmarthenshire Museum, which is located within the park.
To compliment Gemma’s work with schools, we are seeking additional experienced Welsh-medium freelance teachers to run occasional sessions through the medium of Welsh.
“I’m really excited to join the team” says Gemma, “and look forward to working with colleagues, volunteers, and visitors to inspire a love of learning.”
Here are photos from Gemma’s first joint CofGar/Parc yr Esgob education visit, with Laucharne V. C. Church in Wales School, working with Engagement Officer Anne May to make food connections between the Museum, the Walled Garden and WWII in Carmarthenshire.



A BIG welcome to the team!
