Ready for St Davids Day 2011
On Friday last, on a lovely autumn day children from Cardigan and Aberporth Primary Schools visited the Castle Grounds in Cardigan Children from year 7 of Ysgol Iau Aberteifi, in the morning, and from Canolfan y Don, Aberporth in the early afternoon came with parents, helpers and teachers to plant a thousand daffodil/narcissus bulbs in the main lawn, in front of the Regency Castle Green House.

This is in readiness for a lovely display for Spring 2011,when the Cadwgan Trust will learn the result of a hopefully successful grant application to the Heritage Lottery Fund to help finance the restoration of the grounds, existing buildings and to make safe the Mediaeval remains in the Castle environs.
Chairman of the Trust, Jann Tucker, trustees Hedydd Jones and Sue Lewis, and members of the Trust Gardening Volunteers were on hand to help the children with the planting and also spent time with them gathering and identifying the leaves in the grounds. During the Summer Exhibition week, over 300 members of the public, locals and visitors, donated towards the cost of the bulbs for the display in Spring 2011 which it is hoped will be a special time for celebration again in Cardigan town.
