Did you know that we have some champion trees in the Chinese Garden? These are the two specimens of Malus hupehensis. Pat Denne tells us about them. Our library is also being put onto a database, and Ann Illsley tells you about this work. Rosie Kressman reports on her plans to redevelop the fernery and the islands bed in the Temperate House, and Simon Retallick introduces our new orchid acquisitions, kindly donated by the widow of Terry Markland. We are also delighted to have some poetry and prose: a creative writing group visited Treborth and some of their pieces that were inspired by the Garden are reproduced here. Our members are, of course, all interested in gardens, and so do read Julian Brandram’s article on winter flowering shrubs. Hilary Miller writes about the development of the gardens around the new Storiel museum and art gallery building in Bangor. Tomos Jones looks at Cors Ddyga on Anglesey, and his article nicely complements the report of the wildlife there written by Nigel Brown in our newsletter issue 56, May 2016. And as you can imagine, since Nigel retired to his cottage on the island, he has been taking a keen interest in the birds and other wildlife around there, and he tells us about this. This is also the time when we at Treborth are planning events and activities for the forthcoming year; the enclosed Events Diary tells you what is going on up to May – pin it up on your noticeboard – and we look forward to seeing you sometime! Sarah Edgar 3 News in Brief · Donations We would like to thank Frances Simpson, Brian Ayers, Nancy Saville, Mark Roberts, Madeline Marshall and John and Jackie Wootton for their kind contributions to the work of the Friends. · Plant Sales at Treborth 2017 Our sales will be held on April 8th and May 27th and we need Friends to help to grow plants - herbaceous, woody, vegetables or herbs, all welcome! Join our propagation group at Treborth OR grow at home and tell us what you’ve chosen to grow. Either way, please contact David Shaw, [email protected] or Judith Hughes, [email protected]. · Botanical Seminars Treborth Friends and Bangor graduates Tomos Jones and Jen Towill are organising a series of seminars on botanical topics in 2017. They will be held at 6pm in G23, Thoday Building, Bangor University, Deiniol Rd, Bangor. There will be no charge for the events but donations to the Friends would be welcome. Monday, January 30th ‘Saving plants from extinction in Wales’ with Nigel Brown Monday, February 27th ‘'Endangered species recovery in the uplands of Wales’ with Barbara Jones (There will be no Treborth Botanical Seminar in March: instead there’s the Len Beer lecture) Monday, April 24th ‘Another fine mess you got me into; what can we learn from the history of nature conservation?’ with John Ratcliffe Monday, May 29th Speaker TBC Angela Thompson 4 Chair’s report to the AGM 20 October 2016 I’d like to start by thanking the many volunteers who have contributed to the work of the Friends, as well as working hard in the Garden. We’ve had several new volunteers this year who have thrown themselves into Treborth life and become really valuable additions to the team. When someone new expresses an interest in volunteering in the garden then either Rosie, Natalie or I have an initial chat with them, to find out what their interests and skills are, and we explain about how volunteering works at Treborth. Then we say what they might be asked to do. I always approach this by starting off by listing the kind of jobs that they were probably expecting they would be asked to do, like weeding, planting, composting, propagating – then I gently slip in a list of all the other kinds of things they might be asked to do that they perhaps weren’t expecting. Can you make a cake? Do you mind taking money at the plant sale? And write out some plant labels? Build some compost bins? And do the washing up on the refreshments stall? And mend the broken shed door? Help put up the marquees? Book the coach for the next garden trip? And if they haven’t run off in horror by that stage then I know they are our sort of person and I get them to sign on the dotted line as quickly as possible. I hope that they also feel they are valued as volunteers, because we couldn’t arrange the events and activities without a team of people getting stuck into the preparation and running of them. Our plant sales are the most important events. The three that we have arranged in the last year have raised £6500 - yet another record and a great tribute to the many people involved with growing plants, labeling and pricing them, doing the publicity, and refreshments, baking cakes and so on – as well as, of course, our many customers who seem to be happy to come whatever the weather. Our income has also been boosted by some generous donations again this year, some for specific projects, which we keep ring fenced, and others just for the general funds. One in particular that I would like to mention was money that we were given a couple of years ago but have only spent this year. This was £1000 from the family of Eilir Morgan, the young man who was a member of university staff and died tragically in 2013. Eilir loved coming to Treborth and, although the family did not specify how the money should be spent, we wanted to use it for something special. Berta Rosen, who has been involved with developing the Chinese Garden, suggested that the Garden needed a water feature, and found a beautiful blue ceramic bowl. We used this money to buy that bowl and it now sits, filled with water, in the centre of the Garden. We have placed a small memorial plaque there. Another generous donation we received last year was from Huw Thomas for management of the Lucombe Oak; we are using this money to put a low post and rope fence around 5 the oak to protect the roots from compaction by trampling, and also we are working with a designer to create an interpretation board. We’ll have more to report on this next year. Other significant items that we have spent money on include: replacing the insulation in the orchid house and some tree surgery behind the glasshouses, several new books, new glasshouse shading for the orchid house, and casual labour.

    Itineraries - Lôn Las Cefni Grid Reference: SH 422 656 – SH 430 770 – SH 451 782 Lôn Las Cefni Cycleway ~ All day or more A 14 mile off-road cycleway/footpath traversing beautiful countryside from Llyn Cefni and the Dingle woodland Nature Reserve, through Malltraeth Marsh RSPB wetland reserve, past Malltraeth Estuary and then through Newborough Forest. The cycleway can be entered at several points: Llyn Cefni Two free car parks at either end of the lake with picnic tables. Circular walk around the lake 3.5 miles. Cycle path linking the two car parks along the south side but not complete along the north 2 miles. The cycle path links south to the Dingle Nature Reserve, Llangefni and beyond. Views across the lake. Excellent for wildfowl especially in the winter. Dingle Woodland Nature Reserve Two large pay and display car parks. A mile of woodland walks along the banks of the Afon Cefni. Woodland and river birds. The cyclepath traverses the centre of Llangefni, Anglesey’s County Town. Malltraeth Marsh From the lower end of the Bryn Cefni Industrial Estate, the cyclepath follows the banks of the Afon Cefni for some 5.5 miles to Malltraeth. The path passes underneath the A55 dual carriageway and across the old A5. For the most part, the route sits on the raised floodbanks of the canalised Afon Cefni. It affords fine views across the marsh, with an especially interesting section being the 2 miles south west from the A5 overlooking the RSPB’s large reedbed and wetland reserve. The flat, former estuary is an unusual landscape feature in this part of the country.

The consequences of this long history provide us with a spectacular coastline of cliffs and sandy beaches together with lakes, marshes and fens of considerable conservation importance. The island is greatly valued by it's inhabitants but also an increasing number of visitors who exploit the extensive opportunities for recreational activities.

It supports Ynys Môn Local Plan 1996 (Policy 40) and the stopped Unitary Development Plan (Policy EN13) which states that the character and appearance of all designated Conservation areas will be protected from unsympathetic development. Enhancement of their character will be achieved by carrying out improvements and permitting suitably designed new development. This document will be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications. Circular 61/96 (paragraph 20) states that the quality of place should be the prime consideration in identifying, protecting and enhancing Conservation areas. This depends on more than individual buildings. It is recognised that the special character of a place may derive from many factors, including: the grouping of buildings; their scale and relationship with outdoor spaces; architectural detailing; and so on.

    PLAS BERW Ref No PGW (Gd) 42 (ANG) OS Map 114 Grid Ref SH 465 718 Former County Gwynedd Unitary Authority Anglesey Community Council Llanidan; Llanfihangel Esceifiog Designations Listed buildings: House with courtyard and walls and barn [which barn not clear] Grade II*, remains of older house Grade II; Scheduled Ancient Monument (ruined house and courtyard garden). Environmentally sensitive area. Site Evaluation Grade II* Primary reasons for grading Well preserved early seventeenth-century complex of house with courtyard garden, adjoining ruins of older house. Other features may be contemporary or nearly so. Deer park of fifteenth century at least with much of its original wall still standing. Type of Site Deer park; other park areas; small courtyard garden; other garden areas around house. Main Phases of Construction Seventeenth century, early nineteenth century. SITE DESCRIPTION Plas Berw is situated on a north-west facing slope near Pentre Berw, facing into the slope, with its courtyard garden in front, and the expanse of Malltraeth Marsh at its back. It is an ancient site and clearly not chosen for any aesthetic reason, but the area in front of the house would have been sheltered on all sides. The deer park lies partly on the high ground at the top of the ridge, extending down the steep slope and into the low ground on the edge of the marsh. A disused railway line passes very close to the house and bisects the park. The Plas is an example of the 'unit system' house of which there are several in north-west Wales. In this system, when extra space is required, instead of enlarging the existing house or demolishing it and replacing it with a larger mansion, a second house is built immediately adjoining, or very close to, the first.
