• Water fight / puddle jump! (bring a pistol or a squeezy bottle)
• Natural paints and potions workshop (mostly for kids though adults welcome)

It is fascinating to see the range of ways to grow our basic fruit and veg side by side or collaboratively at the different open days and site tours across Pembrokeshire. We fervently hope the benefits can spread.
