“Gardening volunteer and, more recently, making a model of the glasshouses as they were in Victorian times.
“I have been volunteering at the park since the start of the project, initially helping with the archaeology in the Walled Garden.
“I had previously volunteered on another project with the Project Manager so I “followed” her to this one.
“I was keen to help with a worthwhile Heritage project, fairly close to where I live.
“At Parc yr Esgob I have been able to work on a number of substantial projects such as building a drystone wall, improving access to the Walled Garden, and various jobs maintaining walls, fences and paths. It is satisfying to see these improvements enhancing the park.
“I am a retired College lecturer with a keen interest in Heritage.”
