GARDENS

Trefin residents and visitors have visited and gathered in the garden outside our front doors since 1843. 

The last picture of the chapel’s congregation was taken in the garden after its deconsecration ceremony in 2014.

The garden space along the chapel’s street facing side is also used for maintaining the windows, which due to their age and coastal weather, are repaired and repainted every three years.

We are working with Dyffryn Fernant’s Christina Shand on a regenerative planting scheme for the existing slate-walled garden; and to further promote biodiversity, partially restore and protect our listed building’s setting, and provide an access corridor to repair the coast facing windows, we have been in negotiations with Pembrokeshire Council since 2017 about purchasing the historic field abutting our garden walls and rear elevation. 

We hope our garden can one day be a space from which visitors and local schoolchildren can enjoy observing the field beyond’s original shape, and it changing through the seasons and as it evolves as a nature recovery and youth-led Community Science project.
