Need some lunch but can't hang about and sit in the sun? Well we do take away and our organic, seasonal salad boxes are where it is at right now!

The earth might be dry but we still have excellent local producers delivering us juicy ingredients for our salads. Our lettuce leaves come from directly next door in the actual secret garden! How is that for local!

If you're having a BBQ tonight, our salads will go perfectly with your dinner. Promise!

Every sip, every bite - brought to you by people we really trust. 🫶 We have some really excellent makers who are behind what’s in your cup and on your plate this summer.

From Skylark roasting our beans, to Tom and Frances growing our salad just next door in the park - everything is local, ethical and chosen with care. We love them all. And we think you will too.

Any questions about where our ingredients come from? Ask us - we love talking about this stuff!

On the Wednesday 5th Aug, Bute Park Community Orchard will be collaborating and celebrating with Orchard Cardiff hosting a Gardening book giveaway. This is a special one, as we will have a large selection of books from the late Cody’s collection. They are all in excellent condition, and focused around permaculture, gardening, conservation and orchards. The hope is these books are passed on to people who will use them, cherish them and give them a new life.

Please do come along and learn more about what we do and how to volunteer. 🍏🍒
