A St Davids pub is going green-fingered to reduce its carbon footprint and has enlisted a primary school to pitch in on the patch.
The Grove, in High Street, is taking to the trowel and planting vegetables, herbs and flowers in its garden and has handed over part of it to children from nearby Ysgol Bro Dewi school.
The Brains pub and hotel, which is taking part in the Welsh Assemblys Climate Change Challenge, hopes the home-grown organic crops will make a contribution towards lessening its carbon footprint by reducing the number of visits lorry drivers have to make to deliver produce.
Pupils have been studying the environment this term and snapped up The Groves offer to transfer classroom learning to the outdoors. Youngsters and staff met with a water-saving expert for tips on how to be green while tending to the garden.
Contract partner Aqualogic has installed four water butts in the pub garden, installed monitoring equipment and surveyed the pub making recommendations on ways they can save water and also save money.
